Don't you mean massive and monopolized economics for an elite few?


Yeah right...only that whatever energy you produce, people will line up to buy it without question...just can't make a stinking fortune on it though... poor babies..


Where do you guys go to school at?  The GOP Spinbot University?  Say hi to professor Cheney for me OK?


It's not that money cannot be made...now listen carefully here...it's that the PRICES CANNOT BE SO EASILY MANIPULATED BASED ON "DIFFICULTY" OF PRODUCTION.  You see...we know about the little OPEC dealio.  Most alternatives are steady-eddys.  Can't say the pockets of sunshine are harder to get at in the Southwest.  Can't say the wind turbines aren't blowing so good out in Chicago... Can't say the geothermal wells aren't doing so hot next to steaming volcanos.. Can't say the water turbines aren't getting enough flow over Niagra Falls...


THAT is why BigOil has been suppressing...price fixing...gouging...tweaking with supply and demand of a "tricky" resource to extract..  Remember the speculators?  The $5/gallon gas last year?  I do..  It's why they also lobby for "clean coal" "nuclear" and of course, oil... because those technologies, those resources lend best to scare scenarios of "iffy supply"...uranium, coal and oil...all hard to get.  Get it?  Like gold or diamonds.  HARD TO GET = EXPENSIVE.  [read: "we can scare you into paying more than you should for the resource].
