The object of this exercise is to eliminate foreign oil. Cost is of interest but is secondary.
well, I don't think government should have any interest in how US citizens go about attaining their fuel or what fuel it is they attain. It certainly shouldn't be stealing money from the populace to prop up a strategy that is more expensive than the current one. Including, incidentally, one that pollutes more.
Let me repeat that, environmentalists pushing for hydrogen are pushing for a fuel that pollutes more, not less.
The goal of 'energy independence' is as shallow and as ridiculous as that of 'automobile independence', and has become little more than political jargon of the meddling elites.
Then Bush is out there talking about price gouging, of which, by definition, there is no such thing.
It is so topsy turvey, it is, frankly, somewhat mindboggling.
