What a dead give-away. You're obviously an neo-liberal institutionalist.
We can go ahead and create the North American Union and a few other supra-national organizations, and as far as controlling the price of oil, we'll just let the capitalists set the price, instead of allowing the market to do it. Then everything will be just peachy.

Look at the innovations that have been developed in the last century. Yes, our CO2 emissions grow exponentially, but our technology grows exponentially as well. We can overcome.
Certainly an American. No one else would be so hung up on technology and worship it as the "be all, end all" of everything.
Still waiting for the magic fat pill no doubt so you don't have to get off the couch.
The horse and buggy is just fine, except when the horse passes gas. There's little point in wasting money on solar power when you can recharge the batteries for your Chevy Sloth 4-door hatchback golf cart, with rear spoiler, pin stripes, tinted windows and Bose surround sound speaker system using power provided by your local nuclear power plant.
