ECOLOGICAL MELTDOWN EVEN WORSE THAN FINANCIAL ARMAGEDON

A number of experts in the area of ecological apocalypse are pointing out that as bad as the economic meltdown could be the ecological situation is even worse. So as priorities go we cannot ignore the ecological meltdown just to pump up the economy.

In other words a lot of the so-called "green solutions" in energy are not green at all. This includes ideas like "clean coal", biofuels and anything else that still produces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases but calls itself "green".

Big Oil is in a fight for its life and these folks seem to have little understanding of the science of human survival.

If the last decade teaches us anything it is that big oil and fossil fuel interests are running the United States energy policy. It may have been a meeting of these energy giants and Cheney that led to the most recent invasion of Iraq! Big Oil, Big Coal and Big Natural Gas have a stranglehold on the economy and politics of the United States.

If the fossil fuel industry continues to dominate the United States our ecological catastrophe will only be accelerated and certainly not prevented or ameliorated.
