Since 1974, Government has not done anything about a national energy policy which addressed all aspects of energy. Nothing. Carter did the most, he said turn your thermostats down at night.
That's actually a good thing. This country doesn't need a "national energy policy," just as it doesn't need a "national housing policy," a "national retirement policy," a "national health care policy," etc.
Quite frankly, I'm content to have people in Washington leave us alone. Now if only we can get them to reduce their legislative sessions to two weeks in every calendar year . . .
