Vladimir Putin surely also has an energy policy, which favors Russia in general and Russian elite in particular. This policy should have a strong military component, and of course acknowledge the possibility that most of us will lose permanently a high standard of living.

It is about as reasonable to appeal to Putin as it would be to appeal to Obama.

How does one get listened to in the Obama administration ?

Does this web site really get to the decision makers ? What does ?

http://www.change.gov/page/s/yourvision

I Sent the following .....

1. Address the issue of declining fossil fuel production and exportation directly and openly with the American people.

2. Implement widespread energy conservation strategies.

3. Start the transition of the U.S. economy from fossil fuels - oil, coal, and natural gas - to renewable forms of energy (with a positive EROEI ) as quickly as possible.

Big & bold energy & economic recovery idea

I took your suggestion and added my two cents on a suggestion for the new administration...

The title was "Big & bold energy & economic recovery idea..."

A little web box is too small to contain a vision for such a rich, complex and dynamic reality as the US of A.

But there is one big, bold idea developed by Alan Drake, at the Oil Drum, that deserves serious attention - expand and electrify our RR infrastructure.

Cheers,

Raymond
