Sadly, the breakdown in the system has to occur before public opinion is swayed from the one and only cheap natural gas. The majority of this country is doing everything they can to burn up this excess of natural gas and other fracking-borne fuels.  Big homes and big vehicles will eventually chew through our surplus.

agreed, we have typed this before,...

the nation has no energy policy,...

giveaways and polibusiness empires, but no policy,...

we burn our food for fuel,...

our best transportation fuel is being blasted away by the trillions of cubic feet to push electrons,...

those fuels which are best for pushing electrons and not so good as transportation drivers are intentionally erased from use,..

we erect temples to the sun god and wind goddess in hopes they will reach out and save us from ourselves,...

we are idiots,...
