        <description><![CDATA[Carter had the fore thought that we needed to address our energy situation after the oil embargo.  The creation of the DOE was supposed to find those long-term solutions.Sadly the DOE has been a complete failure with the Solyndra mess being the most recent in a long line of crony payback projects funded through the DOE.Overall energy technology has made tiny steps forward in the last 30+ years for the trillions invested.We could be in a much stronger position to handle the coming storm if the substance to meet the need had followed the hope in the vision.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Chris,I just want to say thank you for injecting a dose of reality in an area that's often full of demagoguery.  I always look forward to your weekly missives.  I think a lot of people around the world can see that our current ways are not sustainable and coming to an end (probably sooner than we expect) but they can't see a clear path to where the future will take us.  This feeds the unrest around the world.  Like you I expect things will get a lot worse before they get better.  I just hope the coming crash will be gentle with us.  Thank God I paid off my house last year.Dave]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Chris,I'd like to see you put that big brain to work looking into the future in 5 year intervals, perhaps 10 year intervals after a few 5s, perhaps one of these a month interspersed with you regular concerns.  I imagine each blog being completely dualistic, one section if we do everything right, and another section if we do everything wrong, and a final section about what you think is possible, leaving the reader to fill in his/her own blanks about that final section.Just a thought, from perhaps wanting to not have to deal with mass data each and every time and yearning to see you let the value and subjective cat out of the bag.]]></description>
