Ted, All I see that the release of oil from the reserves doing is buying time and indicating to the OPEC nations that we are not totally dependent. How so? After the oil is released and burned, we will be more dependent on OPEC, not less. If Al Gore wanted to be less dependent on OPEC oil, he would let the prices go up, and if anything, he should have bought more oil for the strategic reserve, not deplete it to weaken us. In the meantime, I am hoping we put together an energy conservation program that will be implemented ASAP and then wish for a mild winter. Expensive oil is an energy conservation program in and of itself. But Al Gore cares about his election more than about some silly energy conservation program. You don't seem at all bothered that Gore just violated just about the only principle he had. And it doesn't seem that you mind to be lied to repeatedly. Joe
