William, RE: Well the CPI for 1999 was 2.7% and 2000 was 3.5% ----- the increase due mainly to oil prices which the last time I check they have no control over . In 1999 the core CPI (ex food and energy) rose 2.0%. In 2000 the core CPI rose 2.5%. A decent part of the increase in last year's CPI had nothing to do with energy. In January, the core CPI rose at an annual rate of 3.7%. Inflation has been increasing for 2 years now; energy is only a piece of the puzzle.

PS If Congress really wanted to have a long term effect on people's life they would work with Bush on truly developing a national energy policy . The environment is important but it is fact of life that we require energy resources to make the economy work. homepower.com I found this article on energy interesting, and somewhat enlightening. Then again, I believe much of the content and would much prefer a dramatically increased effort to develop so-called renewable energy technologies.
