Earths Resources Being Used Up At Alarming Rate

A new report from a major Conservation group suggests that Earths resources are running out at an alarming rate. See Story here.

Meanwhile, Republicans (and some Democrats) who are owned and controlled by oil companies and huge Energy utility companies have been giving billions of dollars in tax breaks to the oil corporations. The energy companies have no incentive to change their technology (to do more research and development of alternative fuels). Major energy companies will never do so, until they are pressured and encouraged by the government, and until the government pushes for a major initiative to develop new energy technologies. The government will have to be the driving force in the effort to move to cleaner alternative fuels. The energy industry will not do this on its own because it has no incentive to do so. Why would oil companies want to move people off of their product. The economic interests of these companies is to keep us dependent on oil as long as possible.

This is a national security issue as well as an environmental issue. Not only can we solve one problem (oil dependence) but we could also alleviate another problem at the same time (the health of the environment).
