This therefore becomes another area to (slowly) explore.<BR/><BR/>I just got a Rand report on oil shale from Amazon in order to begin looking into that issue. I wonder why -- if our shale oil turns out to be reasonably accessible and our reserves supposedly out do Saudi Arabia -- why do projections run only 2-3 million barrels a day when in full swing? We really need a lot more that that if we are going to stop shipping container ships full of dollars overseas, at least by sometime a decade from now.Denis Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833367196756465896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037190876571380696.post-47901639275082068392008-08-13T11:37:00.000-05:002008-08-13T11:37:00.000-05:00New infrastructure to transport electricity would ...New infrastructure to transport electricity would be required whether we use nuclear or wind power, right? We would not build nuclear power plants near the markets, so they too would need to transport over long distances. Your argument against wind power is not valid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214337727955216281noreply@blogger.com
