The document discusses America's energy policy and dependence on oil. It argues that Americans have been addicted to oil for over 100 years and only 15% of the energy from gasoline is used to power vehicles, with 85% being wasted. It claims the true costs of oil in terms of environmental and national security impacts are not reflected in the price at the pump. The document advocates transitioning to more sustainable energy sources like solar and increasing fuel efficiency to reduce oil dependence.

1. How stupid are Americans?
Why are they fooled by their government's energy policy
~
Per the Sustainable Industries Journal:
The Pentagon has blocked the construction of 16 Wind Energy sites in the
USA.
The military claims the Wind Farms are a threat to national security.
Maybe the Wind Farms are a threat to Big Oil and Big Coal?
------------
Are Americans Stupid?
IS THIS YOUR ENERGY POLICY?
(from United States of America - copy of american professor's newspaper letter to the public)
OUR LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE AUTOMOBILE
We've been depending on the internal combustion engine (ICE) for more than 100 years and over all
that time the efficiency of the ICE has climbed to just under 15%. The remaining 85% is waste heat,
unfired combustibles.
YOUR PERSONAL COST?
For every $10 bill you put in your gas tank, $8.50 is wasted. It's not that 85% of that gasoline didn't
produce anything, it means that only 15% was used to turn the wheels. The 85% produced waste
heat, unburned chemicals.
THE HIDDEN STICKER COST?
We're addicted. And an addict will do most anything to satisfy their addiction. Money will be found,
people might get hurt, and we'll make deals with anyone to get what we want. We depend on foreign
imports for over 50% of our oil. If this sounds familiar it's because it's the same scenario that
preceded the 'Energy Crisis' more than 20 years ago.
THE ENERGY CRISIS WAS A SET UP
Our trusted trading partners (the dealers) flooded the market with cheap gasoline (the drug) and we
(the addicts) of course just started using more. Then they cut the supply and raised prices. The cost to
the nation was incredible. The cost to Detroit and the Big 3 was even worse. Suddenly, there was a
market for smaller, high mileage cars and Japan was there to take that market.
D J VU IN 1999?
2. We're importing about the same, still making deals with anyone, the drug is cheaper than it's ever
been (adjusted for inflation), we're using more (SUV's), and driving more than ever. It's obvious we
don't have a clue.
DON'T GET CAUGHT BETWEEN AN ADDICT AND HIS DRUG!
Saddam Hussien was a dealer. We knew he was unstable and couldn't be trusted, but he was OUR
dealer. We depended on him. Things you normally wouldn't even think about doing aren't an
obstacle when you're addicted.
When Saddam moved in on Kuwait (another dealer) our supply was threatened. It was war. Our
addiction is so strong we are willing to send our own children to war for gasoline.
Most drug addicts wouldn't go that far but for us it's a logical step. We were willing to use up natural
resources regardless of the consequences. We were willing to pollute the air, the land and the water.
Our kids can see their air.
As kids we dreamed of the day we'd get our drivers license. The fact that we're willing to sacrifice
lives for gasoline is unthinkable, but that is our policy and what it says about our values is worse. We
pay more for a gallon of coke, than a gallon of gasoline. Or do we?
THE PRICE AT THE PUMP
The cost of gasoline at the pump includes a tax which is meant for infrastructure.
COSTS NOT INCLUDED AT THE PUMP
Value of clean air?
Value of clean rivers, lakes, ponds, drinking water?
Value of Natural Resources?
Value of quality of life?
Cost of military defense of 'our' oil ?
USER PAYS
The cost of our military defense of our oil is a tangible amount. It's estimated that if that cost were
included, the price of oil from the Middle East would be $100 per barrel. The cost at the pump would
be at least $3 per gallon. Instead of including that cost in taxes at the pump, it's being paid by every
taxpayer regardless of whether they drive or not or how many miles they drive. Instead of a tax
policy that promotes efficiency, we build the best highway system in the world but not the best
schools. Our tax code allows corporations such as Exxon a tax deduction for the cost to clean up the
oil spill from the Valdez.
The CAFE standards were introduced to increase automobile efficiency but due to industry lobbying
these standards have been frozen for the past 5 years and Congress just did it again in 1999.
LET THE MARKET DICTATE COST
This can only happen when the true cost of gasoline is levied at the pump. This is also known as a
tax shift and in this case we'll pay those taxes at the pump and not from payroll deductions.
3. The increase in the cost of gas would raise demand for high mileage (energy efficient) automobiles.
Manufacturers, using currently available technology can and would build cars whose efficiency
would eliminate the need to import oil. This would go a long way toward eliminating our trade
imbalance as well as eliminating national security risks due to our dependence on foriegn imports.
In the end, the environment is improved. Although we've grown up believing that it's every
American's God given right to drive an automobile, the truth is that everyone has the right to breathe
clean air.
NUCLEAR ENERGY
It doesn't make any sense that this issue is even being debated. What was sold to the taxpayer was the
promise of 'energy so cheap it you couldn't even meter it'. What we have instead is the most
expensive electricity, without including the cost for decommissioning or the unknown cost of nuclear
waste.
OPERATING COSTS
These of course are passed on to you but be aware that you also contributed more than 50 BILLION
dollars for it's development.
WASTE COSTS - YOURS
Here's the Nuclear Waste policy: Remove nuclear waste from nuclear plants all over the country and
transport it through most every state, within 1/2 mile of more than 50 million citizens and store it
anywhere we can regardless of what the locals residents have to say.
The US Congress is moving ahead with the development of a nuclear waste site in Nevada over the
objections of not only the citizens of Nevada but their Senators and Representatives as well. The
project will also violate EPA regulations.
BENEFIT VERSUS RISK
Sure we take risks all the time just crossing the street. If your crossing the street to get to work your
risk of getting hit by a car is low if you're a law abiding pedestrian. You took a small risk and
received a large benefit .. you made it to work and won't be fired today.
The problem with nuclear is we get all the risk and no benefit.
By law nuclear waste becomes the property of the US taxpayer. It's your problem now. The nuclear
plant will one day be decommissioned, dismantled and also become your property.
Do you want the waste? Do the folks that produced that waste want it? If nobody wants it ? don't
make it.
WHY MOVE WASTE?
A nuclear plant is a nuclear waste dump. Why create another and then take the risk of moving it all
over the country?
CONCLUSION:
4. Why be foolish and reckless like the Americans? You can choose an intelligent and
responsible energy policy using sustainable technology. Sustainable technology creates
long term economic growth with more jobs, a clean environment and healthy
people.
Are you going to follow the ignorant Americans?
