You completely missed the point of what it means when energy sources are called "potential". The 20% "potential" you showed me has the potential to be just 2%. Additionally, you have completely ignored everything that strongly suggests if geothermal was viable, companies would be jumping all over it. After all, you declare it's abundant and cheap to scales of which oil companies would get richer selling it than selling oil. Of course, in order for you to consider any other possibility, you'd have to duck out of your worldview informed by the notions that capitalism is all about scarcity and companies are just trying to fuck you
Capitalism results in war, had you not noticed? Anyone who thinks we went to war with Iraq because Saddam had WMD's is more naive and deluded than I'll ever be. Saddam wouldn't play ball with America. He wanted to sell his oil in Euros. If oil was traded in another currency, the American economy, and ours, would collapse. That's why we can't let it happen. That's the consequence of a debt based economy. America imports a great deal more than it exports. But America can continue to print money, because every nation that consumes oil (ie every nation in the world) must trade it in dollars. That means nations build reserves of dollars, which it is forced to reinvest into the American economy. What happens if the American economy collapses? All those reserves that China, Brazil Russia have, they become worthless. So the big nations do not want to see the dollar collapse, at least not until they have shifted their reserves in favour of another currency.
Someone mentioned JKF earlier, I think dozer. He says that's very probably a conspiracy. It's not even in doubt.

The President answers to those who control the banks. If he doesn't, he gets shot. JFK wanted to take America out of the dollar and into a new resource based currency, not a debt based currency. That did not suit the agenda of those who can makes things happen.
JFK was one of the few Presidents you had that had any sense of obligation to the people he served.
Your causalities and facts are all messed up. I don't know what else to say. You've already stated you opine before thinking or researching. What's the point?
