RLH, I don’t disagree with you philosophically or technically. But when you consider how much we spend as a nation to keep the Middle East somewhat stable for commerce, the big fat thumb is already on the scale. Recognizing that it is a slippery slope that here, I would suggest that a nominal amount of subsidization is an interesting investment if it could allow us to avoid perpetual military expense in a part of the world that yields no other value than its supply of oil. All that we have to do is reduce our oil demand by 10% and the US is totally off of Mid East oil.
