Difficult for me to imagine any politician who has risen to the office of VP taking on fossil fuels from XON on down, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Caterpillar, most utilities, Boeing and the myriad other companies and interests completely dependent on crude oil. We'll run out eventually, and have to start doing something else, but to seriously try to step on this big a game would be political suicide. Environmental improvements, sure, they're a good idea anyway, if you take a clear and open minded look at what we've done to the world in a scant 200 years. But he couldn't stop oil E&P and use, even were he foolish enough to try.
But then hey, I like him and his boss, too. (He says, donning flak jacket!) Hell, Hillary, too! (They just got a Labrador, can't be all bad.)
