DEN BESTE ON MY CALL FOR AN ENERGY "MANHATTAN PROJECT"
Steven Den Beste has picked a comment I made in a post I made some time ago as the point of departure for a critique of the idea that we should set independence from Arab oil as a societal goal.
I have a lot of respect for Den Beste, and I'll be studying and then replying to what he's written (probably this weekend) in more depth. But in the meantime, I'll note that I think Steven has made an understandable assumption about what I meant when I said that we needed a "new Manhattan Project" to address the problem of dependence on Arab oil. Although I did have a technology program in mind, I did not have the idea in mind of a program to develop some one particular technology as a panacea for the problem. As I say, I'll write more about this soon.
