RE: GAS-L: Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage

Mr. Taylor,
Yee Gods man ...it's no wonder you were almost hit by the Brits.  A good
British thumping may have gotten your attention since it is clear that facts
have not impacted you.  For example, unions brought us the 5 day work week
and an end to abusive child labor policies...health care ....vacations ...
safe workplace laws   Perhaps these were just "inefficiencies" in the global
marketplace to you.
Have unions gotten too strong?  Not unless large corporations and nasty
bosses have ended their push toward unbridled greed.
Have you looked at the Climate Change data lately?  To continue to build
coal plants does not lay a vision for the future which I want to follow.
That is why many here work for a rapid change to renewable energy sources.
Speaking of which ....perhaps we should stick to energy issues here!
"God bless the Queen"  ;)
Sincerely,
Edward L. Woolsey

Dear Gavin,
    I understand that the Thatcher government closed the mines as
retaliation
for the labor parties opposition in her election. I almost got hit by some
Brits when I mentioned Thatcher's name. Pretty cut off your nose to spite
your face kind of politics.
    It is abysmally stupid not to use a resource like that for energy and
employment. Perhaps the unions are too strong, but Reagan dealt with them in
a manner befitting their position in this country. Perhaps Thatcher should
have done likewise.
    If the labor laws were loosened, employment may be a boon in UK. In
today's internationalism, it is easier to hire someone cheaply offshore than
deal with attitude which tends to arise in strong unionism or "I deserve"
....
