Energy for America

Obama, listen. McCain, I sincerely hope you don't win this election, but if you do, here you listen.
Please don't invest billions of dollars on "research for alternate energy". Please don't waste our money any more on empty research. Here's what you do.
There are millions of square miles between here where I live and out there in the deserts, canyons, ravines and boondocks of Sierra Nevada, Utah and Arizona, completely uninhabited, hostile territories, completely barren of any meaningful vegetation. Please, please, for heavens sake, just go plunk in all the solar panels and all the wind turbines that you can lay your hands on. Invest those $40 billion that you promised to invest on "research", on these instead, and your prayers are answered. Nay, America's prayers are answered. Perhaps that of the world.
Our dependency on Saudi oil, and presence in Iraq, will be totally meaningless and they can go take a hike. All the Sunni Wahabi jugheads will die of bankruptcy and will not brew trouble in rest of the world.

Alas, but then, oil companies are feeding you not to do that. They love the status quo. They keep our refineries closed on one pretext or other, they under utilize the millions and millions of acres of drilling land they already have, because they love this status quo, they love the way things currently are! And then they come back with "windfall profits", which the Republican pigs question as to whether it does mean a "windfall" profit, and Democrats love the campaign contribution too. Please, either of you, prove me wrong. Liberate me from my cynicism!
