"Logic and religion do not mix."

I disagree with that statement personally, but unfortunately, for the majority of Americans, it is all too true.

About 1/3 of Americans believe that Jesus will come and save them within their lifetime, so there is no reason to conserve energy/invest in renewables/worry about peak oil/think at all.

Luckily, Britain isn't quite as 'retarded' (to quote the above poster), but our politicians are almost as short-sighted.
