Oh, get off of your soap box!
When this country decides it’s serious about energy it will begin an agressive nuclear power program, drill for oil in it’s own back yard and move out on a fuel-cell infrastructure.
Until then, it’s all politics and ideology!
I’m sure you’d recommend a hybrid with a 10 year break-even point!
No thanks!!!
And you have far more faith than I do that this country will ever get 'serious' about energy. I could care less about environmental concerns--I care only about #1) Lowering my OWN bill which means having a more fuel efficient vehicle #2 Sending less money to those countries that hate us which means having a more fuel efficient vehicle.
G Larry, you can always tell the socialist that come on FR, they always claim the government is right and they think we won't see through them!
rb22982, if you really want to get away from foreign oil you should be raising hell with the feds and state govs to get rid of the idiotic green laws and drill for oil here in the US, we have plenty of oil, but we must drill for it, it won't jump out of the ground by itself. We must also go nuclear if we want to lower engergy costs.
The lefties don't want energy savings, they don't want to save the environment and they don't really believe in Global Warming. They want the lower classes(us)to live like cave men, except without the cave or fire, can't burn wood you know, while they, the elite, enjoy expensive houses, vehicles and aircraft. After all, they can appreciate these things while those of the lower classes(us)really can't and don't deserve them. The bottom line is: They want to control us and this is one way they are doing it. Bush was a fool for signing this bill and our Republican senators and congresscritters who voted for this should be booted out of office as fast as we can do it.Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot or blind or maybe both.
