We have the bitchiest labor force in the world, and rightfully so, we're used to a higher standard of living.
    US workers produce some of the highest quality products in the world. The added protections of the US legal system combined with the world largest economic base will definately bring more companies to the US.

    If they dont want to take the test that is fine. They just dont get the check.

    We have billions of barrells of oil here. There is an estimated 3 TRILLION barrells of shale oil. I agree we need renewable energy, but until we have a viable source we have to use what we have. Nuke for electricity, NG for electricity, and appliances. Leave the oil for the cars and watch the demand go through the floor. I'm sure the price per barell will follow.

    Oil wouldnt have been a viable source if it wasnt marketed right and if gas stations didnt crop up everywhere. The electric car almost had its roots set, but the income was greater for fuel and "easier" than creating a network of recharge stations.

    If I'm correct anyway, as I'm dated sometimes.

    Electric has its possibilities, but first they need a battery with the ability to travel hundreds of miles on a single charge, then be able to recharge in <6 hours. When you look at todays battery technology in hybrids, the batteries are only good for about 3 years of everyday use and then you are stuck with a 3-5k replacement bill.

    I think the next breakthrough will come with hydrogen.
