As science tells us, if there is any hope of us or our grand children living healthy lifestyles, we need to look at changing realities and do as peoples have done since time immemorial. If every factory in your town is slated to be closed down, vote with your feet if you must, to get to where the future is happening.
If you live in an old industry town and are worried that your job is on the way to China, then hit the books, study, and get north and west, where the resource needs are. As the wisdom and knowledge builds, we know we need to adjust our current ways.
We need to begin to reverse much of our profligate and foolish ways. It creates an unstable economy when America purchases and then borrows from China to buy oil from the unstable middle east. There is a future for you in any technical degree you get, or in skills training, or how to help Grizzly Bears and Polar bears get along as the Grizzly arrives at the Arctic.
All this messy extraction now combines with serious tree planting. Also there is more and more experimental growing of crops farther north than ever before. The future is all being rehearsed and begun as we speak.
There are serious ways you can make a difference. They are mining diamonds up where those bears are creating a new species.
You could do any of those yourself. A reverse pipeline is going to bring oil from dear old Canada next door.
Very luckily for America there is a stable, friendly democracy right next door that has as much oil as Arabia, or Venezuela, which is huge.
Soon a pipeline will be being build from Alberta Canada down past the Hannibal of Mark Twain. The Canadian oil will supply Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and the neighbors around and including Chicago, then reverse the historic Texas supplied oil now almost gone.
So now oil flows south down the Mississippi to the Gulf at New Orleans. Where those Houston refineries will soon receive their oil not from cranky Venezuela but from friendly Canada, and as always then distribute to America. And so whether you get your degree in oil or diamonds, bountiful duties are ahead of you.
Or forestry skills if you have brains to master, there is work to be done out west. And dear lady for you, is a chance to be part of the crew. Make sure you have worked and listened and learned.
And the future is yours, which you will have earned. |
