It's long been realized that Ayn Rand's ideas no longer have any relevance in today's world. In Atlas Shrugged she was writing about the railroad industry. The railroad industry is no longer a major driving force of the economy. There are no Randian villains destroying the railroads. And, there is no "Miracle Metal." Many of Rand's ideas had some relevance decades ago but, since she was writing about the economics of railroads and steel, it's easy to see that her ideas have gone the way of buggy whips and Ben Franklin stoves. She is irrelevant.

The major driving force of the world today is energy. I'm proud to say that Big Government and Big Business have found common ground on the issues of anthropocentric global-warming and rational energy policy. That's why we've been working hand-in-hand to reduce carbon dioxide while promoting a robust economy! Big Government and Big Business with the help of you, the little people, can make this work. Atlas Shrugged? Galt's Gulch? As I said, that was about railroads. What we're doing today has never been done before. We've never tried this with the entire energy sector. The UN assures me everything will be okay. So, at Halliburton Alternate Energy and Carbon Credit Trust Corporation Group our advertising slogan is:
