[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2766299, member: 2189"] I don't disagree but the gov't has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. The other part of this equation which gets much, much deeper is that energy itself is made to be scarce rather than spread out and in abundance. Their idea of energy is fossil fuel based but solar, wind and other such forms represent a threat to the energy hegemony because the new forms are decentralized, even down to the scale of the individual. Going back to my earlier point of the monetization of energy into the form known as the oil or petro dollar, as long as that linkage exists, all other potential source of energy will remain at a disadvantage because oil will be given privileged status as it is now. Would we even be in Syria if not for oil in the greater region? Even with Syria, laying hidden in the weeds of all this conflict is still [URL='http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-24/oil-gas-war-over-syria-4-maps'][COLOR=#ff0000][B]the ago old problem of oil[/B][/COLOR][/URL]! Yet with Syria we talk about everything else but that. [/QUOTE]
