your lofty words don't mean they're accurate. if your intention was to convince me of something, you might have to start giving me sources to what you believe are facts. otherwise, reply to someone else's comment 'cause i'm not changing my mind. thanks.

Hitler ate free markets for lunch. Only massive increases in government power enabled the Allies to defeat Hitler.
The U.S. is fighting a war against radical Islam. As far as I know, no country ever won a war without inconveniencing its citizens. The U.S. should ration gasoline again, either by coupons or by fuel taxes, to reduce the revenue flowing to OPEC. Biofuels are great but they aren't nearly enough. We must also become drastically less mobile.

Saving lives? haha. Yeah right. This lady's talking about regulations because "it's just not fair." If her argument were solely based on flex fuels being more eco-friendly, then so be it, but the reasoning for HER regulations is what distorts freedom.

The free market did not see Hitler coming. Only governments have the ability to look ahead like that and dictate the correct policies when the market fails to price in a looming future risk.
The current price of oil completely fails to account for the future cost of running out of oil, and the decades of hard work that will be necessary to build whatever comes after oil. The market will always be many steps behind that curve, because individual consumers have no clue.

It's interesting to see conservatives trying to get their minds around peak oil. The conservative/libertarian movement depends on two things:
1. Resources are unlimited
2. There are no unpriced values (i.e., no externalities), and therefore free markets are perfect allocators of scarcity
You can see Ms. Korin's misunderstanding when she refers to "producing" oil as if she believes oil "producers" really "produce" something. This is like "producing" food by opening a can.

Peak Oil says we cannot depend on bio fuels, it will start a soil crisis. Nice video to compare views.
There is always a bigger picture...
environmentalists' assurances that biofuels will save us. No way... Save yourselves ;-]

Dude, during world war II the US also ordered the manufacturers to change their production.
This is bigger, its about saving our lives and freedom. Reduce the dependability on oil.

while i agree with her proposal to use flex fuels, i don't believe regulations should be placed on manufacturers by the government to do so. she used airbags and seat belts as comparable examples to "must-haves" but those are safety features... very different. to enforce these regulations just because the "microsoft" of oil is being unfair does not fall into the definition of a free market. if you look at video 6of7, i take the last guy's stance against her position.

Is this some sort of jihadist curse you are putting on my children?! Fuck you, you racist prick, and the camel you rode in on!Good luck children of your children asswipe,because in your world of Dar-es-Salaam EVERYONE who doesn't believe your way is subject to persecution and death.
This is happening right before our eyes in countries that are fully indoctrinated.
Kiss my infidel ass! May we meet on the field of battle one day,and may I wipe your blood off my sword with a soiled baby daiper.

You are the one who is in denial. This presentation is about not using oil in the transportation sector, not about radical Islam. Some of the money we spend on oil is being used to pay for suicide bombing in the name of Islam. Exaggerated? Maybe, but if just one petrodollar goes to pay for such criminal acts, that's a good reason to stop using oil in our vehicles. There are other reasons too. Islam is not the issue. Our economy is being ruined by oil addiction. That's the issue!

Okaaaaaay, you get no disagreement from me there. Look, first and foremost we start with personal conservation and less waste. That's a given. But as Ms. Korin states, conservation is not enough, and we need to take it a step further to wean ourselves off of oil... Forgive me, but I'm under the impression that you either haven't watched her videos all the way through, or are not paying much attention to what she has to say.
