Five page article, I'll have to get back to it later.

Looks like a good one.

Typical NYT article. Long on problems, short on solutions.
People that make their money not producing an effin' thing except for bird cage liners.

I'd say it discusses solutions to US energy independence and some of their negative consequences.

To paraphrase the former CEO of EXXON -- the amounts involved are vast and it will take a long time to get green (greener) energy sources.

feel free to post your solutions
