I think we're edging toward a better energy policy, but it'll have to be one that make economic sense.
For the record, I recently rode in a hybrid car. It was an outstanding ride, but the dumbest looking vehicle I have ever seen in my life. What we need is more ideas like the hybrid better executed.
I don't know about NE senators blocking energy policy because energy sucks a lot of money out of the economies in the NE states, i.e. winter and transportation of goods.
"I don't know about NE senators blocking energy policy because energy sucks a lot of money out of the economies in the NE states, i.e. winter and transportation of goods." Think about this some more. It is a status quo, powers that be situation. Why else would they still use heating oil to heat homes? People think of Texas as the oil company state, but Standard Oil was a NJ co. How many people make their livings unloading oil takers and refining oil. Looki at guys like Joe Lieberman and Johjn Kerry. Why do they really care about ANWR and oppose every new idea?
