文化面面觀  美國的石油產業與石油政策

The structure of power within the United States has also deeply affected the U.S. response to the environmental impact of oil use. While abundant oil has helped fuelAmerican power and prosperity, it also helped entrench social and economic patterns dependent on ever-higher levels of energy use. Whether or not these patterns are sustainable on the basis of world oil resources, it has become increasingly clear that they are not sustainable ecologically, either for the United States or as a model of development for the rest of the world.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, oil accounted for 40 percent of world energy demand, and energy use was the primary source of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. For this reason, environmental scientists considered air pollution associated with energy use to be the main threat to the earth's climate. Increased energy demand will only make the situation worse. In short, there are environmental limits to continuing, let alone expanding, the high production-high consumption lifestyle associated with the U.S. model of development. Therefore, the most important question facing the United States in regard to oil in the twenty-first century may not be how to ensure access to oil to meet growing demands, but rather how to move away from what is clearly an unsustainable development path.

我觀之我見

似乎繼父母與繼子女的關系都是比較難處的。畢竟么，“你不是我的親爸/媽，我憑什么要尊重你？”弄不好，還就是因為這個后來的爸/媽把親爸/媽趕走了的呢。盡管L.J.的繼父對他不錯，還為了救他而被特工殺手干掉（當然這一切都源于L.J.那個倒霉的親爸），L.J.對繼父的感情還是遠遠比不上親爸，沒辦法，血脈相連啊！只是可憐了這位倒霉的繼父，原以為把一個女人和她的孩子從亂糟糟的生活中拯救了出來，最后卻連自己的命都賠上了。L.J.會對他抱有感激嗎？電視劇還沒演，但我期望能有這樣一個鏡頭，多少給人一點安慰吧。
