Portuguese 9A‘V9‘d:S‘Dt'‘a£:‘eS‘Hl :siawsuv Peak Oil poses policy challenges for U.S. Oil continued rrom page 6 democratic wave everywhere, including in Iraq.” Peak Oil poses one of the greatest challenges yet to U.S. government policy. How our country deals with this issue will most certainly shape the future of the world, and only through careful geopolitical strategy can the U.S. insure global stability. First and fore most, the U.S. must launch a Manhattan Project to become energy independent. This in itself could decrease global oil demand enough to avoid a price spike. Energy independence will also further our democrati zation goals by cutting off fund ing to authoritariaa oil-produc ing regimes. Furthermore, the U.S. should focus on easing the strained relations between oil and gas-competitive nations, like China, India, and Japan, to avoid the outbreak of war. Finally, the U.S. must insure global access to the remaining oil resources throughout this period. Through these and other measures, we can hopefully reach the end of the age of oil with peace and prosperity. As the U.S. Department of Energy recently stated, “The world has never faced a problem like this. Without massive mitigation more than a decade before the fact, the problem will be perva sive and will not be temporary. Previous energy transitions (wood to coal and coal to oil) were gradual and evolutionary; oil peaking will be abrupt and revolutionary.” to their face, anyway. Maybe we start to wonder why, gosh, this person thinks that Martin Luther King Jr. would fight for homosexual rights, and I don’t—why don’t we ever talk about that? Maybe we consider that Co lours’ performance was pretty relevant to the MLK Day event considering the civil rights movement of the 1960’s was primarily mobilized by African- American Baptist churches. Maybe we don’t. This is an opinion article, so I’ll give my opinion, honestly and freely. I think that a lot of us don’t want to face up to a lot of stuff, like racism and prejudice in general. This isn’t because we’re afraid of it. At least, I hope it isn’t because we’re afraid of it. I think we’re just really apathetic. No, not apa thetic—I think we’re mostly re ally, really lazy. And I think that change is really hard—maybe too hard sometimes to feel like it is worth getting done. But what does Martin Luther King Day mean to me these days? It means that we can keep dreaming. It means that we ought to keep dreaming, that we have a responsibil ity to ourselves and others to keep dreaming. It means that we’ve got to get off of our lazy, generation Y rear-ends and do something! And here’s the crazy part: I don’t think that we have to change the world. All that the school programming aims for us to do is to see that racism is bad, and to maybe learn some ways of combating it externally. Maybe within the cunent NC SSM student body we do have the wunderkind who will grow up to eradicate racism. Maybe we don’t. Honestly, for now, I think it’s just enough that we try to better ourselves and do our bests to help others. 8 Stentorian the north Carolina school of science & mathematics 1219 broad street, durham, nc 27705 stentoriandincssm.edu Editors-in-Chief: Rachel Shauger and Sara \A^se Advisor: John Kirk News Editor: Max Rose Features Editor: Ellie Norton Opinion Editor: Emma Htun Sports Editor: Kevin Chen Photography Editor: May Liu Backpage Editor: Margaret Yim Website Editor: Bonnie Bommelje Staff Writers: Whitney Baker, Ben Bogardus, Amy Bryson, Kevin Chen, Robert Davis, Kathleen Hebert, Grace Kim, Ann Liu, Mary Kohimann, Jasmine LaGrone, Kathleen Hebert, Emma Htun, Jasmine LaGrone, Teryn Norris-Hale, Amy Bryson, Connie Chu, Stacy Kvit, Max Rose, Toan Tran- Phu, James Winder, Jamie Winslow, Margaret Yim Contributing Layout Crew: Mary Kohimann, Ra chel Shauger, Sara Wise Photographers: Victoria Park, Alex Solomon, Leigh Ann Taylor, Holly Turner, John Kirk, Steve Jones
