well, son...that is what my platform includes. it also should be
de-centralized which mean it would be ultimately cheap energy, tending not
to generate obscenely huge profits...just energy. the huge corporations are
trying to replace oil with another centralized product...be it bio-fuels,
"clean coal," nuclear...which they will control. and they are saying are
environmentally friendly! of course they boldly lie! and then they tell us
we won't have to change our life style or the american dream...if we switch
over to their new product!
