The Price of Bread, Part II - What Can We Do About Gas Prices?

What does Al Gore have to do with the price of a loaf of bread? 

Here's a thought for review: the way people look at life determines the way they act. 
Said with a graduate degree-ideas have consequences. Or with a bit more street smarts-people act out of their worldview. Bad theology creates bad public policy and bad public policy gets real people, really hurt.

For a generation, Americans have been fed on the Gospel of environmentalism. We have been made to feel guilty for being consumers, for having children, even for being human. We have been accused of destroying the planet by our very existence and commanded to change our ways and honor Mother Nature.

And at all costs, we have been told to stop drilling for oil, building nuclear energy plants, gasoline refineries, and coal burning plants. Instead, we are to worship our Mother by building new technologies like windmills. 

The media has joined and loved the mantra, and the politicians have followed. So our sources of energy have stayed buried in the ground, locked down by a political worldview.

Now oil and energy prices are spiraling out of control. China and the rest of the world are dominating energy use. America is standing on the sidelines consumed in a cosmic guilt trip.

People around the world are starving to death because of food shortages. Americans are facing staggering price climbs that are radically dissolving our economy and soon our health and well-being. 

And the environmentalists are singing hymns of praise to Mother Earth. 

So here is a final question - Does radical environmentalism contain deep within its core, possess hatred, even a death wish for humanity?

It's something to think about.
