How is Obama going to prevent us from having second helpings, keeping our houses warm, and driving big cars? You would need a totalitarian system in place to exercise that type of control.
I have a better idea: let's drill for more oil, off the coasts and in Alaska, for starters. And let's begin right now, and work with the urgency the situation requires.

“How is Obama going to prevent us from having second helpings, keeping our houses warm, and driving big cars? You would need a totalitarian system in place to exercise that type of control.”

Obviously, you missed the posting (right here on FR) about the serious attempt to put centrally-controlled thermostats into California homes, which would limit how much control one had over one’s own heating at home.

They MEAN what they say.

I guess it’s almost coincidental that I happen to be reading Ayn Rand’s “We The Living”, which describes life in the Soviet Union in the 1920’s.

The parallels are more than scary.
