>>The congress is too stupid to realize what’s needed for a sound energy policy. I wish we could throw them all out and start over with Reps that have a brain.

Good idea, but that assumes politicians (i.e. anyone running for office) HAS a brain. I am convinced that Washingto, DC is a giant brain sucker. Once people go there, they lose common sense and the ability to think.

If the congress would use my calculator they would figure out that ANWR alone could pump 2 million barrels a day (1/10th) of current use in the US for the next 15 years. Combine that with the 1-2 trillion known off the coastal regions that's a minimum of 136 years of complete energy independence.
