I think we're all aware that there really is no appeasing environmentalists. Even when he attempts to cater to them, he gets spit on.

And yeah, hydrogen-based fuel cells are a pipe dream, but so is just about every other form of "renewable" energy.

And there would only be a market for a few dozen computers in the United States, and there was no point in drilling for oil, and what were those Wright brothers thinking anyway...

The whole entire premise of this column is deeply flawed. Our energy policy isn't perfect, but it's not nearly as bad as the liberal hand-wringers like us to believe. The danger of so-called "greenhouse gases" is a myth, as is the notion that we're going to "run out of oil" in the next 30-40 years. And contrary to what paranoid liberals like to believe, there's no big conspiracy to keep fuel efficiency down. There are very fuel efficient hybrid cars available right now. Most people are simply quite willing to trade fuel efficiency for convenience and safety (that pesky free market at work). I would prefer that we had more domestic oil production, and hopefully President Bush will be able to succeed at securing this.

Gee I remember when people thought that automobiles were a pipe dream, or flight, or space crafts that could take us out of the atmosphere....
