May the environmental community become as single-minded and dedicated to their task as the Koch Brothers are to theirs. They have some sort of religious zeal combined with cold-blooded calculation. And they have been following through with decades-long, far sighted (if evil) strategy. They are Moriarty, but where is Sherlock Holmes?

Big oil is doing everything they can to limit competition. They love it when oil prices spike. They make huge windfall profits.

It is time to transition to safe, clean alternative energy sources. Wind, solar, wave energy, geothermal and second generation biofuels made from algae, cellulose and waste are the future.
