Addiction to oil is U.S. defense issue

You can agree with me, the liberal tree-hugging energy watchdog, who’s pointing to the numbers and urging a dialogue for change. Or you can agree with the energy corporations, whose only purpose in life is to make lots of money today and grow their stock value. Or our government, whose interests are obviously driving us to a net energy-losing, climate-changing end. Or you can live in a fog of denial. The choice is yours.

I am not telling anyone what to do. Rather, I’m simply presenting the facts in hopes of starting an intelligent dialogue, and here is a really good one.


I’ve written about the latest congressional report warning of our lack of preparedness for peak oil. Check it out. It’s pretty scary. But then again, these guys are just congressmen what really is their agenda, right? Now there is a new study ordered by the Pentagon itself. The Pentagon is by far America’s largest energy (for logistics) consumer. This study warns that “the rising cost and dwindling supply of oil will make the U.S. military’s ability to fight around the world unsustainable in the long term.”
