I’ve been saying just the same thing for a while now. Screw the arabs. Coal and natural gas will get us through until we can develop something to replace them.

I give you credit for at least thinking .

And you are right we do need energy independence.

However I disagree with your Manhattan project. We need less government. We need to get rid of the EPA and other agencies, laws, regulations and programs. The EPA , energy dept etc. are crippling energy production in the U.S.A . Just get government out of the way begging with abolishing the EPA, energy dept, dept of interior, etc. ,IRS ,government schools, HUD , local government agencies etc. For example EPA shutting down coal plants, CO2 global warming regulations, restricting new technologies like fracking. We have enough oil, oil shale, coal , natural gas , nuclear etc to be completely energy independent if only we get government out of the way.

Maybe we should rename this thread “Romney’s Fault”.

You know the press is going to spin this as all being Romney’s fault one way or another.

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/14/witnesses-police-fire-on-protesters-near-u-s-embassy-in-yemen/

[Updated at 12:06 p.m. ET] Some Friday protests that hadn’t yet been mentioned in this blog post:

– In Afghanistan, hundreds of demonstrators in the eastern Nangarhar province burned a U.S. flag and chanted “Death to America” and “We condemn the film.” The demonstration lasted about an hour and ended peacefully, a local official said. The Afghan government has ordered an indefinite block of YouTube to prevent people there from watching the clips and staging violent protests.

– In Baghdad, Iraq, hundreds of followers of the radical Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr chanted “No to America, no to Israel.”

– In Jerusalem, Palestinians marched from the al-Aqsa mosque toward the U.S. Consulate, but were prevented from reaching the mission by Israeli riot forces.

– In Syria, hundreds gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Damascus. Protesters waved placards that condemned the film and blamed the U.S. administration for allowing the production and broadcast of it, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency.

– In Iran, the Islamic Propagation Coordination Council called for nationwide rallies Friday to protest the film and what it is calling a U.S.-backed plot against Muslims, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
