People in China, India and Africa are closing behind us, but there just isn't enough to share. They have realized that they want to share the same cake as we do. I do not like it but it is a fact.

If we had nuclear power plants, we would have all the energy we need and more, but, using scare tactics again, we have been hogtied by regulation so we are unable to build them. The same people also keep voting down the drilling of oil and natural gas. We have more than we could ever use but are unable to get to it. If these people would just stand aside we would be in fine shape.
