I think that if the United States Government would provide more subsidies to energy sources and much, much less subsidies to Illegal immigrants, we would all be a lot better off. Maybe George W figures he is subsidizing gas production by feeding all those beaners. They do produce a lot of gas. I think it would be a lot better for the government to subsidize gasoline and oil than the oil companies subsidizing George W Bush and Dick Cheney. Things seem to be turned around right now.

We need to be subsidizing energy production and things like that instead of some stupid war in a country that is not going to change no matter how many of our young men and women George W murders over there. Subsidizing the various forms of energy production makes a lot more sense to me. George W lied to get us into the war, now he needs to lie to somebody other than the people of United States of America and bring our troops home and to heck with all those rag heads.

We need to build some new modern refineries to use the oil that is available to be refined into gas and Diesel Fuel. A lot of the refineries are old and use antiquated technology. But George wants it that way because this way it keeps the demand up and the supply down and he just gets richer and richer at our expense.

I think that solar energy and wind power are definitely the way to go in the future. There are very few days in most of the United States where there isn't some kind of a breeze. Definitely enough to turn a wind generator. And in most places there is at least some time during the day that the sun shines. I think one of the big reasons that the government has not pushed more to develop wind power and solar power is that they have not been able to figure out a way to tax the sun and the wind. If I had the money to buy the land I would by about a thousand acres of land up between Cheyenne and Glendo Wyoming and put up about two wind powered generators to the acre and I guarantee that I would be a millionaire in five years the way the wind blows up in that area. The area power people have to buy what extra you don't consume and I guarantee that two thousand wind generators in that area of the country would make a lot of electricity.

I have long been interested in the solar energy concept and actually had a solar water heater on our house in Florida. It did a good job and definitely saved on the utility bill. I know a couple that live down in Southern Arizona that have forty acres and raise a big garden and have everything powered and heated by solar energy. They did have one problem though . They live about ten miles from the Mexican border and the illegal immigrants kept cutting the cooper piping out of the tubing to the various places. Now they have two Rotteweilers and Three Pit Bulls and no more beaner problems. The only problem they have now is the smell of recycled refried beans from Mexi-Gas.

I guarantee that if the government of the United States spent more money on subsidizing energy production and lesson the Iraq War and illegal immigrants , we would be a lot better off.
