Nothing, Nothing is worse than ethanol. It uses up MORE oil to produce it than just using oil straight from the source. Iowa (like Alberta) is gonna be in a real jam before the peak oil crisis is over. It won’t be able to grow corn (can you spell “ADM spin”??) for very long and then where it will be?

The FIRST ITEM of action, is giving tax credits for people to insulate their homes and the residency real estate that they own. This was AL Gore’s most egretious error .. not promoting insulation when he was in office as that has used up more oil than anything else during the past decade. It is estimated that 25% of all oil consumption might be saved if this very simple tactic were adopted and enforced. This is a huge huge change, far greater than anything the carbon credits could achieve in a similar time frame. I don’t care if it’s done with hay or with oil-produced insulation, it is far more economically viable and less damage to the environment.

And that brings me to point 2 – the governments themselves must figure out the carbon credits and do the transactions. You see, as The System now stands, people like Al Gore make all the money as the transactions are figured out. No good comes to the PEOPLE who invest in this “system” in any way, although THEY will pay the money to make the carbon tax credits “work”. This is really something that Dion must look at very very closely because the first reputable politician who really tackles this bugaboo is gonna be SHOT by the media, unless they can show how such a system (government intervention in the process) actually DOES benefit BUSINESS. Using private contractors to adminster the system without OVERSIGHT is a disaster in the making – and explains why many people like me do NOT support Kyoto. I think we must partake of the process of getting to SOLUTIONS, but don’t agree with the current proposals.

Another of my Big Suggestions – R&D money into alternative fuels should become a way of life here in Canada and we should “lead the pack”. There is evidence that marine energy is actually the cleanest and most efficient way of getting away from oil/nuke energy. Why NOT support the research? What does Canada really have to lose finding out if that is true? What does Canada REALLY know about using molds and other byproducts of recycled industrial output? Zip, is the answer to that.

Let’s look at the biggest consumers first and solve those problems is MY suggestion – this makes looking at providing the highest grades of oil to US allies bombers and the “testing” of them and then simply QUIT giving them fuel. Canada is NEVER GOING TO GET PAID for supplying the US with oil, never. That’s the neocon rule book. They run up huge friggin debts to fuel their imperial war machines with no intention of paying!! That’s what’s caused the fiscal crisis (can you spell depression, forget stagflation) .. this endless borrowing to prop up a war machine that is simply there to keep the oil and nuclear industries FED. Israel wants to bomb IRAN becuz they quit supplying jet fuel to them. Canada took up the oil crunch last year to Israel. Why do Canadians allow this?? Cuz they don’t KNOW, it’s leadership to show them not just conduct business as USUAL. Canadians are fuelling the imperial wars, paying to keep bases heated and warm, paying to keep deadly fighter planes flying, while the average Canadian cannot afford to stay warm. That’s the bottom line .. and explains why people are “doubling” up in their rental accomodations.. and WHO pray tell is going to fed heat into the MacMansions in the years to come? Man, time for a VISION task force on what we WANT for CANADA, using its resources in good, clean, people-centric way.

I have plenty MORE suggestions. This is just the tip of the iceberg. But this is where I think are the biggest items most likely to turn around the situation the quickest way possible.

Don’t get me started on edumping by the way.

‘Ralph bucks’ were a one (1) time deal only. My family received its 1600 bucks back in 2006. The rumours are that this type of action will become an annual event. That is where I’ve been. And you?
