Obama's plan for energy independence a Mad Max like post-industrial wasteland

Not content with preventing the US from pursuing it's own sources of energy Barack Obama is now taking aim at our lragest supplier of imported oil - Canada.

WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama on Tuesday vowed he would break America's addiction to "dirty, dwindling, and dangerously expensive" oil if he is elected U.S. president -- and one of his first targets might well be Canada's oil sands.

A senior adviser to Mr. Obama's campaign told reporters it's an "open question" whether oil produced from northern Alberta's oilsands fits with the Democratic candidate's plan to shift the U.S. sharply away from consumption of carbon-intensive fossil fuels.

...

The remarks amount to a shot across the bow of Alberta's oil sands industry, which is planning to boost production from 1.3 million barrels a day to 3.5 million barrels over the next decade.

So the Obama plan at this point - No new oil, no nuclear, convert all our arable land to corn production for ethanol - which we may not be able to use because the carbon footprint throughout the production cycle is higher than conventional oil and the Waxman amendment won't let the US government buy it- thereby stopping food production and starving millions.

Wow, seems like a winner to me!

I am ordering my build it yourself Thunderdome kit now so I am ready for the inevitable societal crash.

OK, I admit it may not be quite that bad, but so far his energy policy does seem to boil down to "Oppose Anything That Will Work"
