I have a great deal of difficulty with those who live in a hugely prosperous country telling people in the developing world that they should be deprived of a critical source of energy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I find it interesting that many of the people who want to restrict fossil fuels live in well-developed countries where abundant and affordable energy is readily available.
The problem is not that America does not have energy. The problem is that our government - alone among the governments of the world - will not allow its own people to recover the energy that they possess.
Today, we're very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted - all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.
I think developed countries - so-called developed countries - should reflect upon the way of living and the waste of energy.
We haven't had a good energy policy in this country for decades and we're trying to get one.
The Nation needs to take a new approach to our energy problems.
Our country has had a hard time learning that lesson with energy.
The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense.
The U.K. is already disadvantaged on the wholesale cost of energy, and then it puts taxes on it. Anybody who's an energy user is just going to disappear.
I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
