Dateline USA....

As gasoline prices jumped for the first time to an average $3.50 a gallon at filling stations across America, an apparently paralyzed and defeated nation remained focused on ... carbon.

Seriously. Go into any American bookstore, and you will find entire shelves--whole sections--devoted to carbon footprints, carbon emissions, and other green crap.

Never mind that more and more serious scientists are finally finding the courage to speak up and question the manmade global warming scam. Elitist opinion, led by former US Vice President Al Gore, Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama, and the left wing of the mainstream media, is still firmly in charge of the planetary issues agenda.

Oil is bad, gas is bad, coal is bad, anything that is proven and big and essential to our national security and economic well being is bad, the cripple-America-for-its-own-good crowd cry. Monstrous windmills are good, the zealots tell us. Wave energy is good, the whackos assure us. Growing food to fuel SUVs instead of feeding people is wonderful, the fraudsters and fools insist.

And so it goes.

Not one US Presidential candidate has an oil policy, even though the world depends on oil and will continue to depend on oil for at least two decades. Not one candidate shows interest in tapping the awesome deposits of heavy oil (both crude and tar sands) into which the world is actually running instead of running out of. Not one candidate says a word about enhanced oil recovery--squeezing new oil from old fields. Not one candidate is committed to bringing down gasoline prices. Not one candidate cares about clean coal. Not one candidate seems to give a damn that millions of Americans could soon be in danger of choosing between buying food or buying gasoline to drive to work--or oil or propane to heat their homes.

Heaven help what was once the greatest nation on Earth.
