I blame politicians and people that keep voting the same ones into office.  When Steve Jobs made it seem like that Apple would build in America if it weren't for all the red tape to build a factory it got me thinking that if companies want to grow and keep up with increased demand, there is no way they can do so in the United States.

And yet, people demand "Green" nonsense, which is a major reason factories can't be built, minerals can't be extracted and the list goes on.  I'm not in favor of trashing the envoroment but there has to be a happy medium.    It took at least 10 years longer  to build an extension to connect I-355 to I-80.  There were concerns that the highway might disturb the habitat of some fly!!!! A damn fly!!!  Kill em' all I say.  I defy anyone to show me any super highway that is "good" for the environment.   Man is not good for the environment.  Global warming is just another reason to make insane demands.  China doesn't give a rat's ass about global warming and their mega pollution nullifies any efforts others may make.

Avery large portion of "The Green Movement" is just anti-capitalistic clap-trap, designed to take gazillions of dollars out of the economy to allow the pols to dole it out to America-hating losers.

I think that is a major problem with people not wanting us to extract our resources where we would get them cleaner and safer than other parts of the world. 

One thing I heard that makes me mad is they want to delay a vote until after the election on some pipeline from Canada to Texas.  If these people don't want to make decisions like that they shouldn't be in office.

Sarah Palin pulled off a TransCanada/USA natural gas pipeline that has been a goldmine.
