This is a column, not a book. You will see over time how the energy issue works for the Democrats.
>M. Simon:
So Bill,
Do any of the candidates actually have a plan to lower oil prices? You know like opening more areas for drilling? Like clearing the way for more refineries? Or have the Democrats made such things so toxic that the only alternative is to starve third worlders by turning food into fuel? With a net energy output that may actually be negative? So that in the Democrat idea of utopia we get the worst of all possible worlds. Burn more oil. Raise food prices. Lower automotive fuel efficiency (because a gallon of ethanol has 60% of the energy of a gallon of gasoline).
Where did these geniuses come from? They need to repeal a few laws. Let them start with the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
