As far as China having a right to be pissed off, that has more to do with us basically stealing their fighters a few years back, keeping them and then billing them for storage. Not their idiot pilots losing flight time because MS Flight Simulator crashed again, LOL.
Bush's long term goals are not bad, there just aren't any short term one's like holding a session on Price Gouging.
The refinery's and American Oil company's are making record profits, big mergers have enabled them to Price Fix. This needs to be addressed, now.
The problem we have with nuclear fusion is exactly the opposite of superconductors. To create fusion, the temperature needs to be close to the Sun. Am I not correct in my statement when I say halogen headlamps burn hotter than the surface of the sun?
As far as the oil companies making more gas because it's so profitable, it's not. Neither is sugar, or wheat, or many other products used in the huge quantities like gas is. What causes this is competition. The oil industry has eliminated most of this by merging, so it allows them to price fix for a higher profit. (See record profits while most other industries are getting setbacks due to a slowing economy)
15 years to build a refinery? Just wait and see what happens when the demand goes through the roof. If they can build the Mall of America here in MN in just a couple years, they can certainly pump out a refinery in like time if so desired.
Tryme, ever heard of supply and demand? The more people that want something, the more it's worth.
