billions of dollars of oil and petroleum around the world for 30 years. Maybe I was inadvertently part of your dissertation.
In regard to the US, the US doesn't want to dominate the globe, never said that, but we only want energy independence. It was a significant goal for America or any country to achieve when many, hopefully not you, forecast peak oil 30 years ago. How did that work out with the so-called oil experts.
Does China have energy independence? No. Thank God. That's why they have turned their skies into sludge with their dirty coal. And need growing imports of petroleum and oil to keep their manufacturing alive. China remains one of the largest importers of jet fuel on the planet. I'm happy to make them pay for it.
We are developing cleaner energies everyday. My company is part of the solution. We are importing low carbon density ethanol, biodiesel, and renewable diesel that reduces CO2 emission by 70% over corn based ethanol, which is basically a farm subsidy.
Guess where we are putting it? In Sacramento. And the liberal, Gavin Newsom is our biggest promoter.
Was this all part of your dissertation?
And I don't know what you mean about "this is not a factor in any of our or anyone's calculations?"
Maybe you need to update your dissertation or get out here where some of us are making a difference.
