Hillary's '70s Energy Show--"Mrs. Clinton also claims "we worked our way out of the last big energy crisis in the '70s and early '80s almost entirely through conservation."
No, we we worked our way out by electing Ronald Reagan, whose first action in office was to de-control oil. Later, he de-controlled natural gas. By allowing domestic producers to earn market prices, new supplies came onstream.

Tidal energy farm proposed for Vineyard Sound

Tidal energy turbines work like windmills underwater, using the daily motion of the ocean to produce electricity. This scaled drawing shows three of the six turbines Verdant Power hopes to test this summer in New York City's East River where the speed of the tidal current reaches 6 miles per hour.

Your efforts are interesting, they show a nice little history on this topic. Imagine being upset about $37/bbl oil!!!

[ChessExpert]

Your vest pocket solution is much like my own:

1. Drill for oil & gas in ANWR and offshore.
2. Go nuclear
3. Build refineries

Your list may be better than mine, but I thought I'd share.

Maybe there should be some counter to not-in-my backyard thinking. Something like no to Federal taxes, yes to state taxes. The idea is to encourage states to support energy production. I admit this is speculative, so feel free to ignore. Just the start of a thought.
