Choice: food or solar fields

If you have ever had Carne, or Steak, where it does not say beef or pork in the description. It is probably horse or kangaroo. Fast food places don't need to be specific as long as it is grade A USDA inspected.

Working fluid and heat differential is all that is required.

I've heard it's good and I eat wild game all the time, including squirrel and ground hog (you have to know how to prepare ground hog properly and if you do, it's quite good actually. I would imagine it's good most horses (except the wild range ones) lead a pretty sheltered and well fed existence, consequently, the meat would be fine grained and tender and without excess fat content, probably on par with Elk, which I also eat regularly, in fact I rate Elk meat tops. Have eaten bear as well. Nine in my freezer however. One of my renters went on a Canadian bear hunt some years back and had a bear BBQ and I had some of that. Not bad. Was a tad greasy but when you BBQ it, it cooks most of the grease out.

Never had it but not adverse to sampling it. My issue with eating it is probably mostly because my wife raised draft horses and I'd think about 'Old Betsey' cutting into a piece.

You are correct, Ground hog is great - opossum too, but only if you prepare it right (remove that pesky scent gland under pits) - BTW, the ground hog gut makes extremely good bow string too. I was raised in AK so we pretty much survived on wild game & fish. Bear fat when rendered, makes the absolute best pastries - really light & fluffy. Squirrels 'round here are to small to mess with unless you are really hurting (less meat than a dove).

Drilling and pumping is one thing. I believe that what we lack is refining capacity, which takes more time to plan and implement than putting in an oil rig. If I am wrong it wouldn't be the first time, however.

Totally agree, but when was the last time the powers to be "allowed" a new refinery permit. I might be wrong, but I don't recall any new ones coming on-line in the past 20 some years.

They moved the taxation on oil to where the product is "sold" and that is at the refinery.
So no US taxes if you refine offshore!
Who wants to open new refineries if it leads to high taxation on US soil,
Our government at work, moving profits offshore.

Several have come on line in the last 20 years.

This may be true, but with the unknown coming from this administration and the idiots now with the EPA, most oil companies can't justify the risks involved with long term production (necessary for profits).

Oil companies are now set up with leases and production plans for the next decade. Record and near record production is planned and expected. Everything else is political noise. Industry sees record profits and will continue achieving this.

Unfortunately, man can NOT live on grains & legumes alone! Ask any physician (that hasn't drunk the kool-aid) how many "Vegans" they've had to tell they needed to start eating animal protein if they ever planned to get well.

Yep. And much of the year round vegetable production is in the southwest and west coast; places that are currently affected by droughts. Unless the Midwest and northern areas start constructing greenhouses, we will continue to import a lot of fruits and vegetables from Mexico, Central America, and South America. Or just have fresh produce during the summer.
