Let's hurry on energy policy or the Right will get there first

Since we presented our second draft of a proposed energy policy (Reenergize America - A Democratic Blueprint (Second Draft)), there's been a lull on the topic. We are currently thinking about the next steps, and will come back to the community for more discussion, but the topic should not disappear from your minds in the meantime.
I know that with the Libby indictment and the Alito nomination there's a lot to follow these days, but energy is an issue that is not going to disappear, and which needs to be tackled as soon as possible, and kept in the headlines as much as possible, as it is one of the most glaring failures (and there are many) of the Bush administration.
But the smart conservatives are also thinking about the issue, and are making serious efforts to come up with workable policies. I comment below on one of the more recent efforts, from the Committee on the Present Danger, which makes a compelling argument.
Jerome a Paris's diary :: ::
Despite the token presence of Lieberman among them, the CPD is the meeting place for a surprisingly high number of prominent conservatives, neocons, and reaganites, and the policy paper I will now discuss is signed by George Schultz (Reagan's long serving Secretary of State) and James Woosley (former director of the CIA).
