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.
I am 100% absolutely in favor of opening up drilling, coal plants and nuclear power anywhere and everywhere and have written my congresscritter as much. But with our current congress, that isn't happening.
