"Bill Putney" > wrote in message ... | | Oh yes - I know, Art, how in a parallel universe in which the PoTUS was | Gore or Kerry for the last 4 years the Islamists are all just peace and | love, 9/11 never happened, flu shots are abounding, women still can't | vote in Afghanistan, Afghanistan no longer produces poppies as the raw | materials for it's biggest export, Kofi Anan's son stopped making | under-the-table deals with France and Germany in the Oil for Food | program which was their motivation for blocking the taking out of Sadam, | Sadam quit offering and paying suicide bomber/murderers' families for | their loving acts against innocents, the DNC recalled it's policy of | routing out voter fraud wherever they could find it and, where it didn't | exist, to plant the idea that it did anyway in the minds of the public, | everyone is covered by free cradle-to-grave health insurance while taxes | have dropped to their lowest levels ever and the national debt has been | wiped out, industry is being punished by disincentives to keep | production in the U.S. yet they are magically doubling the size of all | their U.S. production facilities every year, genocide was prevented by | the UN in Sudan, U.S. unemployment figures match the double-digit | numbers of France and Germany, and Al Franken and James Carville both | have viable radio talk shows. | | I just can't wait for the Kerry Utopian society in which we need to pass | the Global Approval Test before we take appropriate action in light of | the Oil for Food stuff and absolute appalling UN inaction in Sudan (I | guess they're waiting once again for the U.S. to go in and try to fix it | so we get the blame for any and all problems and the other countries can | continue to profit from the situation). Yes - we want a guy as | President who met with the Viet Cong in Paris while the war was still | going on - Yeah - that's my man for President! What a joke. | | Bill Putney | (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my | adddress with the letter 'x') | Well stated... |

Actually Bush's energy plan had a very well balanced approach of tax incentives for development of alternative and renewable fuels for the long term as well as improving the supply of domestic energy to deal with the shorter term issues (that have only gotten worse since).

We'd be in a little better spot now (both in the short term and working on the long term) if it had been passed. At one time the plan was available as a PDF file on the Whitehouse site...I read it. It was a very good well-rounded and comprehensive plan that had something in it for everyone. Hydrogen vehicle research/development tax breaks? Yep! Solar, wind and geothermal energy tax incentives? Yep! Drilling in Alaska? Yep! Oh wait...that last issue killed the whole thing! Sad, ain't it? |

What people like or dislike doesn't affect the viability of the solution, just its conceptual popularity.

Wouldn't need to; the US is China's biggest export market. > Actually Bush's energy plan had a very well balanced approach of ....of cutting down old-growth and cutting down new-growth and warring for oil and burning rocks^h^h^h^h^hdirt^h^h^h^hcoal, yes. > At one time the plan was available as a PDF file on the Whitehouse site...I > read it. I'd have to remain very skeptical that Mr. Bush would come up with a very well balanced approach to energy policy unless I read the primary document. Still got the PDF? (BTW, why have you got your newsreader set to use the | character rather than the > character for quoted text? The > character is the standard, and many newsreaders don't handle | well.) |
