<VV> reserve oil - didnt lisen? - no corvair, in case you couldnt guess

[werp knarly]

maybe if we had truly listened,

     - realized the world uses 320 billion kW hours of energy per day
          and growing
    - know that non-renewable resources means
          NON-RENEWABLE
    -  and had built huge wind farms,
           china is building the largest farm, germany is building the 
largest windmill
    -  promoted bio-fuels,
           gas and diesel from organic matter and waste bio products
    -throw in several dozen solar farms
    - spent a billion on these technologies instead of 2 billion in iraq

then we could be getting 30-40 percent of our energy from renewable 
resources
    any maybe the gulf waters would not be so HOT, so the hurricane would no 
have been so destructive, don't forget the worst of the storm missed new 
orleans!

    and maybe the caribou could still live a worry free life,
        btw melting tundra is making a mess out the artic regions, road and 
buildings             are collapsing

Thanks!
