So,
We solve the oil problem once and for all. We will have more than enough here.
We eliminate much of the need for our military to protect the energy supply globally, so, with proper management, this will result in dramatic reductions in spending.
We create an entirely new geopolitical and geoeconomic dynamic where we don't need the ME, or Venezuela, or any of the OPEC members for that matter, for their oil supplies. Nor do we make enemies all over the world.
We have a nearly CO2-neutral energy base. Global warming or not, done.
We create 500 Billion+ dollars worth of new jobs and commerce
We reduce the trade deficit by about 60%
We avoid a complete melt-down of the US economy, which WILL come sooner or later, and likely sooner, if we don't solve the problem.
All opposed?
