<<While I think AG's overly aggressive rate increases are primarily responsible, Clinton is certainly not blameless in this economic downturn. If there is ANY legacy that Clinton/Gore leave behind, it is the lack of a coherent energy policy, if not outright hostility to the energy sector. It is this lack of vision that has given us the highest natural gas prices I can ever recall, and left us more vulnerable to OPEC's whims than ever before. 9 years of economic expansion at the same time we suffered a contraction of energy independence.
