Damn Tree huggers and oil prices

back in the 70's when Jim Walter started these underground coal mines around here the Japanese were buying all the highest grade met coal. They were taking it over there and dumping it in the gulf to preserve it until we run out over here then they will load it back up and sell it back to us for 100 times what they bought it for. Just a smart investment for them. When I was in school China made the statement that they would defeat the US without ever firing a shot. Looks like it is playing out just as they planned. Sad but true. IMHO big oil caused this recession we are in now by jacking the prices up and the trickle down effect caused everything else to go up except wages.
