Pray tell, what's wrong with the U.S.A.? Oil paid Barons in the White House protecting their own interests. Very sad when one realizes we have 250 - 300 yrs. of energy independence lying in our own back yard at exceptionally reasonable costs - $15/barrel of oil energy equivalent - give me & the rest of the public a break! Furthermore, we have cleaner technology than China to do it properly. Let's not forget the thousands of U.S. jobs that would result from looking at alternative energy.
