Nah, we are the country of big oil people, big power people. What year was 
it that George H.W. Bush responded to alarms over oil shortages by racing 
his speedboat in big circles for the admiring throngs? We are Americans, by

phooey on the rest of the poorer world and the laws of diminishing returns.
