i know i cannot be alone in wishing a much speedier response from our government to renewable energy resources to counter the growing dependency on imported oil - from parts of the world which don't necessarily regard us as the best of friends. i cite the problems the u.s. faces with their reliance on a 50% oil import quota to support their massive oil dependent culture.
the u.k is heading the same way and it would give me great satisfaction to know that we could cut ourselves off from the middle east and their magical hold over our environment policy not to mention our foreign policy!! without our money the middle east has nothing else to sell to us. they can still despise the west and wish it every ill but they could never then hold it to ransom by withholding the precious black gold. let us invest and sacrifice for a future without the middle east in our beds night after night.
