Tenchusatsu, I just came across a very reliable site as far as news are concerned: nakednews.com (you may want to take a look - at home not at work - DSL or cable help), but one tidbit of information was interesting. Supposedly California tax payers are paying $45 million per day to subsidize the high energy consumption, or $16.4 billion per year if the prices remain where they are. Let's see what the so called "environmentalists" are all about: release the strategic petroleum reserve to keep the prices low and consumption up, and now they are going to subsidize high energy consumption with tax money. Good thing they have the evil Big Corporations to blame. I guess if the shortage continues, they have a solution: increase taxes for more energy consumption subsidies, release more oil from Strategic Petroleum Reserve (wait a minute, how does the oil get into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the first place? Don't you have to drill somewhere, transport it? Nah, don't you worry your pretty little environmentalist head with those kinds of details) Joe
