With the Deepwater Horizon tragedy setting off shore drilling back for years and now the Japanese disaster doing the same thing for nuclear power, we should expect the Greenies to be taking a victory lap and cracking the champagne. We can expect fuel prices to rise as we continue to depend on foreign oil and viable alternatives are taken off of the table.
The part that we sometimes forget is that the suppliers of foreign oil are in the business to sell it. And as we demonize OPEC and the likes as people who can't wait to gouge us at every opportunity and just hearing it's going to rain changes the supply lines and then of course the prices, the reality of the issue is that we are customers and this is business.
If I may be so bold as to use the addict and drug dealer analogy, when the user stops using, the dealer doesn't win, he losses and he will do whatever he can to keep a customer even if that includes changing or lowering the prices.
Now I know that maybe analogy stretched and their maybe numerous reasons the addict stops and stops completely, but we know we as a country are unable to completely stop using oil and that's certainly the last thing OPEC or any oil producing country wants.
So as much as the Left wants Global Warming, The Deepwater Horizon Disaster or the tragedy in Japan's nuclear plant be the tipping point for a green agenda, it will never happen.
The reason it will never happen is because the dealer from the east doesn't want his drug, he wants his money.
