John, you’re not the only one that realizes U.S. energy policy is nuts (I’d comment on your blog, but I don’t want to register).
As an aside, since we all had our sweatshop-built white-wristband love-in, just under half a million people have starved to death. Yes, it succeeded in that people thought about global poverty for more than the time it takes to flip from the “Save the Children” commercial, but the problem is that without a threat to their jobs, the politicians will never forgive debt, never send aid, never do anything that doesn’t expand their personal or collective fiefdoms.
