 The Government 'Energy Plan'1. You can't drill for oil anywhere.
2. You can't build a refinery anywhere.
3. You can't build a nuclear power plant anywhere.
4. You can't burn coal for electricity.
5. You can't allow the oil companies to reinvest their profits into exploration.
6. But you can drive up the price of food by subsidizing an ethanol industry that takes land out of food production while using more energy than it creates.
7. You must continue to tax every gallon of gas that we put in our tanks.
8. You must threaten all energy users with additional 'carbon taxes'.
9. And just in case some entrepreneur out there somewhere may have an idea for an alternative energy concept that just might work, you must raise the capital gains tax so that investors have less capital and less incentive to invest in his/her project.
Count your blessings. With the coming change in administration, it will be a wonder if the price of gasoline doesn't get to $10 per gallon.
