MEETING HANDOUTS
05-07-05. "Energy Population", Dave Pristash. Attach:ENERGYPOPULATION.xls
If these amounts of energy are produced the US could be perceived as telling the rest of the world that you can never have what we have. The political consequences of that is what makes for world wars and with the number of nukes now out there ... we really don't want to go there. As ex military officer I not bashful about using direct force but this one is a big looser.
