President Obama once again acknowledges Peak Oil...

Which, it turns out, was the thrust of this address, just as I'd hoped it would be.

It's time to get to work if we're going to survive oil depletion.

2. I was disappointed that there was no plan announced. I wanted a JFK moon speech for

a new energy paradigm and I was denied.

4. I was hoping for that too but I hope it might be in the works

I can't truly believe he isn't working on something big. It has to be big. He said we've come together before to face crises like building our navy back after Pearl Harbor and building the weapons for WWII, as well as going to the Moon so he seems to know what's needed.

It can't be that he's the only one who doesn't listen to his own speeches.
