Right after the collapse of the Twin Towers, September 11, 2001, cheering crowds went celebrating to the streets of Gaza, Cairo, Riyadh, Islamabad and other parts of Pakistan, clips shown on TV were short, plaid down, we need the OIL, we don’t want to anger our energy suppliers, lets duck, keep it quit, see our President humiliated, ridiculously dancing with the Saudi elite and say nothing.
We all wished to see the day of robust alternative energy emerges here, a fantasy at that time 2001, a dream which will change the balance between a bunch of upside down societies and the world.
Many Mumbai attacks are on the drawing board, and they’ll come, we are helpless, the weak government of Pakistan, a nuclear power, (just by writing Nuclear Power my body shivers) a “Democracy”, cannot control the secret service, the underground government support to the Al Qaeda branches, the growing Taliban influence inside and out side Pakistani borders, so the seeds are hatching.
Saudi Arabia, the patron and promoter of Wahabi Radical Islam, pouring petro dollars to the Pakistani Maddrassas, where the day starts with “ Death to America” where the seeds of Jihadists are growing, where angry clerics teach hate, killings, destruction, out of books that have carefully written to mold the perfect suicide bomber, or Mumbai killer.
We stand paralyzed, watching, knowing.
Mr. Obama was elected for a change, we need a change, we must better our helpless position, we need Alternative Energy, we MUST have alternative energy, any, if it is Plug and Drive hybrid or any other technology, just by starting to introduce it, technologies will prevail, advance, slowly, new and improved systems will be introduce and before we know it our dependence on foreign oil will be gone.
I hope that one of the first moves of the Obama administration will be is taxing the gas pump, is it a conspiracy? Whenever new energy is about to emerge price of oil drops? Incentives of new innovators, entrepreneurs crash with the price of oil? Will it happen again? Or maybe the picture of Mr. Hugo Chavez, with the fists up, chanting to $200.00 a barrel is still vivid enough in our minds - or the arrogant smile of Mr. Putin – I have Oil, Gas and money, treat me like a Super Power or else, is playing in our minds…???
It’s a matter of national security, it’s a matter of our survival, some of these dollars we are paying to the wrong people, are coming back to us by the way of September 11 attack, by the way of Mumbai attack, by the way of Iraq suicide bombers, by the way of Taliban insurgency, introducing Alternative energy in mass, will save lives, will save money, will create jobs, will help us deal with terror, any alternative energy, any…
