If you’re like most Americans you were tired of the high gasoline prices, but you feel rather helpless, as you know there is nothing you can do for you and your family. Perhaps it is crossed your mind that you could start your own oil company. I had considered this scenario recently for a fictional work. And the synopsis goes something like this;
The folks would try to start their own oil company with lots of money, they would be mostly all liberals, they would eventually see they could not raise the money or get any of it done. So they would re-design the car and find that there are too many class action lawyers, regulations, unions and in the end fail. Then some Billionaire entrepreneur would bail them out and some big oil companies diversifying assets and profits would fund a new revolution in cleaner cars, as part of their program. Meanwhile you could have civil conflict, news reports while the entrepreneurs are at home of Middle Eastern Conflicts, war with Israel, china taking Taiwan, N. Korea making ethanol. Riots at the World Bank, Davos, Capital, G8 Summit on the TV too, International terrorism, Mexico city earthquake, problems with shale to oil, over capacity rail and pipes, environmentalist over drilling, whales, natural gas, etc.”
Then I thought to myself well that would be interesting wouldn’t; take the liberals thru the process and hoops so they can see what they are causing due to over regulation. It would be an Ayn Rand story in modern times, new genera. And it would be for the liberals showing that they can over come and also conservatives would love it. Everyone wins and we move this country forward.
The Novel or story or even a short micro-media film that I am talking about would be bathed in American entrepreneurship, beating your head against the wall, winning in the end, Rocky story of business and small group of people who refused to give up an win, they start out as liberals end up realists and then find themselves after all they have been thru attacked by complainers, protestors and rioters just like they themselves were who clearly do not understand. Considered as in 2006.
