text: Pressure groups and governing elites used to argue that we are running out of oil and natural gas. That ploy no longer works. While fossil fuels may eventually prove finite, fracking has given us vast new supplies of petroleum and huge coal, oil and gas deposits have been placed off limits by government decree. We have at least a century to develop alternative energy sources that actually work that create real jobs, actual revenues, lower energy prices and true prosperity without the mandates, subsidies, deception, fraud and corruption that are the hallmark of green energy schemes.
