I'd agree that the development of alternative energy strategies will be expensive, but I'd also assert that it needs to be done, and can be done right now. I'd guess the petroleum industry, which is a large industry in our country and is a "player" in our political process, is not supportive.

Tabs, I'm not familiar with the word "suscribe," but I do indeed have some criticisms for the current administration. I think that's patriotism and you can think what you like about it. It seems clear to me that either our "president" declared war on the basis of very poor, incomplete, unreliable and incorrect information (in which case he did not exercise the degree of care most of us put into our jobs), or his real reasons for this decision included some considerations he has not shared with us. Either way, I have a big problem with his performance.

Just because I am deadly serious about rooting out enemies of my country does not mean I am going to fall under the same hypnotic trance the rest of you seem to be suffering from.
