In 2008, Americans face critical issues: an uncertain economy, war, rising inflation, natural disasters, crumbling infrastructure, and the impacts of climate change. But one issue has an immediate impact on all Americans; climbing gas prices have opened up the national discussion about the future of our domestic energy supply - a discussion full of questions on how to sustain the environment while fueling an energy hungry nation.
The U.S. Gulf Coast - America's Energy Coast (TX, LA, AL and MS) - is at the epicenter of solving crucial issues facing this nation: continued and future exploration and production of fossil fuels, new and alternative energy sources, vulnerable coastal communities and the workforce needed to support energy activities, national navigation needs, decaying and inadequate infrastructure, and imperiled coastal ecosystems.
How can they sincerely use the term "sustainability" and "fossil fuel mining" together? Do you give a junkie more crack when their supply runs low, or do you let it run out so they can live a healthy life?
