Which is exactly what you would be doing if you were to completely avoid anything oil related. The real issue is, what are we going to do about the dependency on oil? When oil is $10 bucks a gallon, and it will be. You will be whining just like the rest of the world. And I'm sure you already are, just not on a forum filled with trolls.

It IS a constituency (largely the vaunted "creative class") deluding itself (or trying to fool others) it is "the masses". It is not more than a special interest group like the AARP or the gay marriage lobby. Like the "solutions" they prefer are in any way compatible to those of a Midwestern coalworker, let's say. I think they will soon discover they are just another pawn on Barack's chessboard (well, maybe a knight at best ;) That’s an excellent point.

The #1 question to ask the Obama administration is "How are you going to pay for all the programs you ran on without causing the US to default on its debt 10-15 years from now, and without degrading its military capabilities to the point where it can no longer keep the world from plunging into complete chaos?" The answer to that question is "I don't know, it's probably impossible." Hence the question is simply not asked.

Here are some obvious problems with such a fund:

1) Vulnerability to corruption
2) Vulnerability to inefficiency, i.e. influence of politics and politically correct considerations on decision-making.
3) Lack of accountability for incompetence.

Your "insane intelligence" doesn't grok politics. Like I said, tech geeks are incredibly vain people. The "solutions" (or best-case solutions, if you prefer) to these problems already exist and are well-known. It is amusing to watch your ilk pat yourselves on the back for your problem-solving abilities. It is their political tenability that is the issue, that has been the chief reason these problems have not been solved. Thanks for proving my point, Brett.
