RE KRUGMAN ENERGY POLICY LIEO ENERGY POLICY IN XANADU
The history of energy, sorry story, especially throughout the 20th Century.
The Middle East should have been governed by a Viceroy, and should never have come under the control of the bedouins. It is bad enough that Russia has so much petroleum.
The West should have rationed its consumption (not just in war) both in the West and elsewhere.
Krugman talks about renewables as the direction of the future. The reason is that the West squandered so much of it so fast already.
Just stop and think for a moment of all the ways we here in America have fostered and continue to blithely support this incalculable permanent loss, many decades of horrendously bad super high consumptionist automotive, home, and industry product designs, and wasteful private monopolistic power generation policies, that there are mostly only bad renewabilist alternatives left now.
Why make any energy (or advanced products or technology know how), much less cheap energy, and the very revenue from it, readily available to the hostile leadership of countries in civilizations with, as Bobbitt put it so well, a seething anti Western underclass? An enormous underclass. Why?
Unless you want to commit civilizational suicide?
Dumb and Dumber...The Dumb Money Ideology
Ed Boyle, on DK's site, recites the now popular saw about the inevitability of China rising again to its alleged former heights.
Anyone who studies it a little knows that the Mongols were a far greater (not a good, or a better) empire than China ever was, that the Mongols conquered weak China, and much more importantly, most of the world, and that China never recovered, frankly.
It was a so called Pax Mongolica to which liberal economists like Krugman love to advert with admiration.
Unfortunately, it was built on the most enormous slaughter the world has ever known...the road to freer trade pacifism.
Bobbitt loves to make poetic allusions, 'why oh why can't I'?
