Well listen Eric, you seem like an alright guy, certainly passionate about your beliefs. Lets say for the sake of fun, friendly discussion that I advocate precisely the opposite of that which you advocate.
Sure I'd ban coal and oil, at least the polluting of our atmosphere from their combustion, if that was required to save our asses. Now keep in mind that we have all the oil our 2 countries would need for a looooonnnng time, and we're racing against the clock to get it out of the ground and sell it to ya. But I'm not too worried, because we've got just about any raw material we need right here to heat our homes or fuel our vehicles or otherwise feed the U.S. consumer.
The technology exists to use heat from the ground, hydro-electric power, solar and wind power, tidal movement, and who knows what's around the corner. All that's required to really get the ball rolling good is some leadership from our governments...then watch the free market take that ball and run with it.
BTW, we won't need to evacuate Canada, we might have to make room for people seeking relief from the heat south of us though. No worries though, we're a very friendly, polite and welcoming people up here...and we're kind of fond of you Yanks anyways.
