The US Gulf Coast is in mega boom, on its way to becoming the world's oil/gas refinery super center -- with greater total refining capacity than that of Saudi Arabia. Scary. And yes as you say the impacts of continuing to grow our fossil fuel dependency for transportation fuels on our health and environment, are pretty well forecast and understood.

Reducing oil consumption is. Why? Because cheap oil in the short run will only increase demand and accelerate the environmental impact. Like giving whiskey to an alcoholic. <br /><br />Worse yet, oil drilled in the US or Canada and piped through the US, will not necessarily be SOLD in the US. So now we're subsidizing companies that profit on weakening our economy AND destroying our surface environment because we're addicted to a poison, distilled substance.Ms.Wyldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748318711508457587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576938212346342161.post-62766022699600750942012-10-26T02:39:16.109-07:002012-10-26T02:39:16.109-07:00Just reading your post and references to Art's...Just reading your post and references to Art's comments.
