Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

LOL! No disagreement there. Once speculators were allowed to trade the commodity, there came the increases in price.

What will be MOST interesting, IMO, will be the effect this has on the Middle East politics and economy. Where will Saudi get all it's money then? I'm thinking that there's going to be BIG changes within 10 - 20 years that will make those areas desperate to find new sources of income. OPEC ain't going to like wind farms.

I think the problem with the conservationists is that they took a radical view point (not all but some) in restrictions and how much their projects were going to cost tax payers. In short, they should recognize that NO ONE wants polluted air and that the free market, with progressive technology, will eventually take care of the problem without bankrupting businesses.

Edit - You can't make everyone happy. Wind Farms are already under the microscope for causing health concerns:
