"America is dangerously dependent on foreign oil. Also, increasingly scientific evidence is mounting that must be taken seriously: manufacturing and processing of petroleum and fossil fuels and petrochemicals is not only a great source of industrial might, they are also alleged to be linked with global warming. These selfsame chemicals are also clearly causing long-term, multigenerational damaging effects on our reproductive health—this unbridled dependency on fossil fuels almost exclusively places a great nation in a vulnerable position." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "The shift from petrochemical-derived plastics and polymers to those made from corn or other domestic renewable plant sources not only contributes to reducing the nation's dependency on foreign oil but also, if implemented on a large scale, would greatly reduce the amount of pollution, including greenhouse gases. America would not have to rely on unfriendly enemy governments for oil." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) |

| "The Catawba mill has also been officially recognized for being one of the cleanest in the world and is one of only four facilities to meet the EPAs Voluntary Advanced Technology Incentive program Tier 1 requirements. What all of this means, in plain talk, is that facilities like the Catawba mill have cut adsorbable organic halide emissions to less than half the minimum requirements of standard facilities.35 Since these emissions are a marker for use of dangerous chlorinated fossil fuel hydrocarbons that can cause cancer, reproductive harm, and other maladies, lowering them is a good thing." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) |
 "Only two years later, the Arab oil embargo disrupted both the cost and continuity of foreign oil.
While gasoline prices were skyrocketing and supplies diminishing at the consumer level, the White House Council on International Economic Policy was reporting economic benefits that the oil price increases were generating in the United States.

The Watergate scandal effectively distracted the American public from the momentous transition going on in global economic relations. While Nixon tergiversated, the United States quietly surrendered its position as the world's swing oil producer, meaning that it lost pricing control of the world's single most crucial commodity."- James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) "America's trade imbalances, aggravated by the increased importing of foreign oil, grew steadily worse. Overseas dollars were accumulating and could still be exchanged for gold under the Bretton Woods agreements (at the $35-an-ounce rate that had remained unchanged since the FDR days). Only now there were far too many dollars in other countries to be exchanged for gold at the official price. Eroding confidence in the dollar threatened mass redemptions of American gold. Foreign governments, or their central banks, could show up at any time at the "gold window" of the U.S." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) |
