The global recession could be simply a major cyclical downturn, but there are indications it is more: a structural breakdown, brought about by the globalization of finance and industry. If this is so, globalization could be the biggest economic blunder in history.

While the oil spill in the Gulf is a major accident and requires both compensation and review of drilling regulations, the adversarial tone of the administration towards BP and the oil industry is ill-considered, as is the drilling moratorium. America needs oil, and reducing supply is a bad policy at this time.

Americans have always taken national independence for granted, and history has been kind to them in that regard. Now both independence and national sovereignty are being eroded by globalization, which replaces them with global co-dependency. This puts before us a choice which we must face.

Government spending has to be restrained before the looming collapse of sovereign borrowing results in economic and social collapse. Fortunately the larger components of today’s budgets are also the more wasteful, so that their reduction, if properly managed, will have a positive impact.

We are now in the second phase of the global financial crisis: the looming collapse of government credit. Simply put, states are running out of money to borrow, and there is only one way out: reduce spending.

The most expensive and least costly way to reduce fuel consumption is to maximize fuel efficiency through incorporation of all relevant technologies into automotive design. This should be accelerated through government industry cooperation aimed at design and production of a “maximum efficiency” vehicle line.

One critical sector of the U.S. economy – transportation – is entirely dependent on oil, two thirds of which is imported. It is imperative for the U.S. to gain better control over its fuel supply. Three approaches must be pursued to achieve this: increased domestic production, bilateral agreements and the development of a synthetic fuel industry.

1.  Objective
The Arctic is considered to be the repository of considerable undiscovered oil and gas reserves. To access those reserves requires a high level of technology and large amounts of capital, often beyond the reach of individual corporations and even that of some governments. In addition energy exploration and extraction is assumed to have considerable [...]
