Time to End the Age of Oil

There is only so much oil on planet Earth and the end is in sight.  We call this the problem of  “Peak Oil.”

For the last century, the gas compression engine has driven Western civilization.  Our drive to control the market has landed us squarely  into  Asian land wars we will never win.  Now the despoliation of the Gulf continues unabated as huge amounts of oil gush into the warm waters there.

If elected to Congress, I will work to ban off shore drilling and for an end to BP’s liability limit.

We need to retool before the risks we take to extract more oil destroy us all.   Let us wean our selves off of king oil and work so renewables will run our world.
