It' all smoke and mirrors. If we want energy independence we know how.

That is mis-leading. Alaska and shale oil and oil sands would only be viable if the price of crude oil were high enough, not the price of gasoline.

Let's stop trying to mess with things through taxes. $3.00 gas is still cheap. If you can afford $40,000 for an SUV, and you finance it, you're probably paying $1200-1500 per month to own and maintain it. Do you really think an extra $100 in gas will make a difference?

If the NYtimes thinks that the European model is so great, why don't we donate NYC to Europe. They can have Coastal California too. No no, we'll be fine. Really.

Not gonna happen.

Now Texas as part of Mexico is pretty much under way.

One of favourite Cheney quotes in the context of energy conservation decisions; "Americans shouldn't have to make choices."

Not to worry Dick, stick your head in the sand and the choices will be made for you. Canadians are already paying far in excess of 3$ per gallon. Conservation measures should be applauded not vilified.
