What a load of *****.
"And just last week I visited the Electric Vehicle Technical Center in Pomona, California, which is testing batteries to power a new generation of plug-in hybrids that will help end our dependence on foreign oil. I have to say, Susan, the battery I saw was bigger than that one that's on the desk -- (laughter) -- but that may be the direction we're moving..."
Hello. How are these eletric cars going to be charged??
Sure - we could all use less electric and live in more efficient houses, have a better grid and drive small cars. But as the population continues to grow - the demand will eventually go up!
All this talk is about the demand side. What about the supply side???? How and where are we going to generate the huge amounts of "green" energy our society consumes?
Wind and solar are a farce. A tax write off for wall street and wet dream for greenies.
A the end of the day - this means as much or more fossil fuels as ever. Coal, gas and oil. All release CO2 when burned. Much of it is imported.
These morons are turning the clock back-wards on energy independence.
