Using conservation as a weapon?

Well, it's an idea. I like it. May take awhile though. But nuclear power could most definitely play a part in this plan.


Israel Unveils 'Green' Strategy to Defeat Enemies



We've talked over here about this idea too -- our national security is way too tied up with oil imports, even if we don't receive most of our oil from the Middle East. Our NATO allies do, and most importantly, if there was a price shock -- like a successful terrorist attack on a major oil facility, which is something that the Saudis (who finance Islamic radical groups) don't actually want; we'd be staring down the 'barrel' at $5/gallon gas (or more). So it behooves us for several reasons, many of them unrelated to the ugly specter of global warming, to consider using this plan as a springboard to true war-footing energy conservation. Because I think truly, we are at war.




Gotta love the guy's name, too. UZI Landau.
