there really isn't much we can do but watch the oil surge

and try to clean up whatever hits land.

if we had a sane House and Senate they would close down all oil rigs on land or sea and start a 365 24/7 project to produce wind and solar, etc. power sources.

this happened during WWII to ramp up for war. 365 24/7. and it happened.

and we americans made do and everybody helped.

but our House and Senate isn't sane and I doubt today's americans would help.

so all we can do is watch and try to clean up. until the next disaster strikes.

somebody tell me I'm wrong. please. hope has gone down the toilet.

1. It would surely offset the damage this is going to do to our economy

It might even lift it out of recession.

2. This is a golden opportunity to change our dependence on dirty sources.

3. On the page of a CNN blog (link below) about a "wake up call"

to change our relationship with dirty, non-renewable fuel, there's an ad for an Infniti car with a 420 hp V-8.

There's just lots of insanity in a market-based world.
