As I predicted, things are hotting up with regards to Venezuela,
America's biggest source of foreign oil. (As a result of various issues they have threatened to cut off oils supplies to the US. This is the next US foreign war. Provoked by the US ally Colombia. Socialists, friends of Cuba, near to hand and all that oil. Perfect range of excuses. |

"Venezuela [is] America's biggest source of foreign oil." Huh? Venezuela supplies a bit less than 11% of US imports and it is the FIFTH largest exporter of oil to the U.S. Further, their oil is pretty crappy, suitable for making asphalt and not much else. http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/p...nt/import.html More further: Oil is fungible. If Venezuela cuts off oil to the US, that means they will sell it to someone else. The "someone else" will not be buying oil from supplier #2, so we'll get that. |

Entire EPA / Superfund business model is, IMHO, prima facie unconstitutional, in as for all practical purpose, title for anything that may someday be declared HazMat, never passes. You merely go back along the chain of possession until you find somebody with money. Don't get me wrong, I think the nasty stuff needs to be cleaned up, and I don't have any good solutions for how it should be paid for. But I always cringe to see Bad Law used, even for nominally noble ends. Government extortion is never a good idea. The only certainty is that the lawyers get rich, and a greater or lesser portion of the cost gets added to the national debt. Probably cheaper to only haul the companies to court when there is, ya know, actual evidence that they violated actual laws in force at the time that the material was sold or disposed of. -- aem sends... |
