It is amazing to me. Absolutely amazing to me - that a member of that select club - the US Senate - could be so ignorant of basic economics. And no, not talking about Marxism 101.
"Unless something is done to make energy more affordable".
Therein lies the crux of the problem - when it was cheap - it was too cheap realitive to evertyting else - so wasted it like it was free and increased our consumption. We drive around in Pickim-ups and Escalades and pave over farmland to have McMasions with no shade trees 30 miles from any job... GMAFB (see earlier post)
Strategic oil reserve? Every 50 cent bump in price per barrel for the past 5 years and every wimp in congress looking for a cut back.. What part of "strategic reserve" is so complicated??
Sorry folks, should have bought a Focus when you had the chance.
