Hi folks,
have any of you read this book? It sure looks interesting. Does it sound familiar?
"Energy Victory" by Robert Zubrin:
http://energyvictory.net/
(http://In this compelling argument for a new direction in US energy policy, world-renowned engineer and best-selling author Robert Zubrin lays out a bold plan for breaking the economic stranglehold that the OPEC oil cartel has on our country and the world. Zubrin presents persuasive evidence that our decades-long relationship with OPEC has resulted in the looting of our economy, the corruption of our political system, and now the funding and protection of terrorist regimes and movements that are committed to our destruction. Debunking the false solutions and myths that have deterred us from taking necessary action, Zubrin exposes the fakery that has allowed many politicians – including current US president George W. Bush – to posture that they are acting to resolve this problem while actually doing nothing significant toward that goal.
Zubrin's plan is straightforward and practical. He argues that if Congress passed a law requiring that all new cars sold in the USA be flex-fueled – that is, able to run on any combination of gasoline or alcohol fuels – this one action would destroy the monopoly that the oil cartel has maintained on the globe's transportation fuel supply, opening it up to competition from alcohol fuels produced by farmers worldwide. According to Zubrin's estimates, within three years of enactment, such a regulation would put 50 million cars on the road in the USA capable of running on high-alcohol fuels, and at least an equal number overseas.)

Oh I heard about this. Someone at the Preserving Western Civilization mentioned it.
I agree with the premise of the book. We need to make oil worthless. And we also need to stop Muslim immigration to the West.
