Obama's pushing the EPA, so we'll get movement, even if Congress does nothing. But Congress will do something. It may just not be the big climate bill push that we were all hoping for. That's a pity that the health care bill sucked up all the will power in DC.

Yeah health used all "the oxygen" as they say. Still I think oil imports are different. Turn a few subsidies into penalties and a few penalties into subsidies and the difference at the margin should change consumption. Commodities are like that... a little change at the margin can make a huge difference.

Would love to see a tax on imported oil... or at least a flex tax to keep gasoline at a fixed level. Not in the cards I suppose... smart taxes/smart incentives are not exactly popular these days.

I'm pretty tired by the dumb down liar folks. Not amusing anymore.

Told ya they would be pissed at Obama for opening up off shore drilling. The righteously indignant don't care about policy... they care about politics. Disgusting and so, so old.
