China Buying Texas Oil Fields

Chinese Government owned CNOOC has purchased 33.3% of Chesapeake Energy's Eagle Ford Shale Project in South Texas. We have to import most of our oil and yet we are selling oil resources on U.S. soil to China. What's wrong with this picture? This is part of the Political Common Sense for America series.

what about water power? Hydrogen power?

[brianboeheim]

@Flakita3O5 Not sure what you are asking... i think that any fuel that we can produced or create domestically is the better choice.

There are already companies trying like mad to build magnetic energy machines.

Personally, I think that's where the future's at.

We'll get there ..& it won't take long.

The question is: Will America be first or will we follow someone else's lead?

If we can find the answer to energy first, we can re-build our entire economy. Problem solved.

Education!

Educated populations tend not to over-populate, have higher incomes, have lower crime rates & go to war less often.

Education!

Go to daily motion & put this video on:

I believe that governments are afraid of what people might do with free energy... including the potential to produce all sorts of things... good & not so good. More than that, I think that the premise of energy not being metered freaks out the energy corporations more than anything else.. it's why Dick & co are in such a hurry to exploit as much fossil fuel as quickly as possible

My second choice (because I know most Americans are way behind in our thinking & won't ever concede to pull EVERYone ahead, only the specifically chosen few with cash) is to elect Gary Johnson &/or Ron Paul cuz they're just radical enough to MAYBE get our system overhauled.

But, if we look at the most economically stable/successful nations right now, they are democratically socialist nations. But our people are afraid of a word... even though a mix of concepts is proven to work.

@brianboeheim

I think that's our best hope for the future BECAUSE the future is in the best & brightest in science, technology, physics & anything innovative. Right now we don't produce much & our people aren't educated enough to be very innovative. Other nations (including far poorer ones) have & are surpassing us like mad because our priorities are out of whack. The future, including money, is in reaching our highest potential.

Think science fiction... cuz that's what's happening all around us

@brianboeheim

My favorite idea is to completely socialize education 100% & get rid of nearly every other fed government agency. I'd like to see each & every income earner in America taxed a certain percentage (I don't know how much) straight across the board, no exceptions, the money go into a general pool & divied up equally per student. The $ from those who choose private ed remain in the pool. That poor, kid with no hope might be the one who has the answer stuck up in his/her noggin somewhere

@brianboeheim

Look, the answer to our energy (& just about every single other) problem is in education. If we stop pouring every cent we have into war & terrorists & other such nonsense, & instead pour it ALL into educating every single one of our citizens so each can reach his/her highest potential, we might just find the next energy source before anyone else (if someone hasn't already). If we think, "nah, it's better to find terrorists," then we'll stay in the back of the pack in every area.

[brianboeheim]

@esigus I love the idea of tapping theoretical and practical physics to solve our energy problems. We need more scientists and engineers instead of sales managers and lawyers.

[brianboeheim]

@esigus I like your enthusiasm, but I'm one of those engineer types that understand the gap between vision and implementation. I think there are several good possibilities out there, but they all need money (as you've suggested). The key is being less reliant of power sources that are out of our control and move toward what we can control. Small, self contained nuclear cubes, natural gas, and eventually solar and wind when we build out the 765kv grid is my suggestion.
