Yeah, the energy companies are so powerful they wrote the same policies in Europe and in Japan.
Well, either way we are screwed.
You can blame whomever, it's cheap has hell to say the energy companies got us into this when you look at a public that is absolutely addicted to powerful cars with very thirsty engines.
In fact it's stupid because you can't explain why Japan and Europe don't do any better than we when it comes to oil.
Nope, I don't give a shit about finding some donkey to pin the tail on, that is nonproductive and stupid.
I know we are screwed and the result is going to be lower and lower standards of living as time goes by. You can blame it on whomever if that makes you feel better but it's not going to change anything.
