Bush proposes to ease the energy crisis by cutting money for energy efficiency programs. Now, there is a really dumb idea. "The Bush budget includes dozens of cuts in specific programs as well as spending increases in other programs. Bush proposes, for example, to cut more than $200 million from renewable energy and efficiency research programs. Under the president’s proposed fiscal 2002 budget, the Energy Department’s core solar and renewable energy programs would be cut in half to $186 million from current spending levels of $376 million. The Department’s efficiency research programs, which seek ways to reduce energy use, would be cut by $61 million to $795 million. " msnbc.com

The taxpayers here are still paying for a nuke plant that they built wrongly with a faulty design. It was their mistake and we ended up paying for it anyway even though it doesn't produce power. From what I've heard faulty design and improper training are the reasons nuclear power has not been used successfully in this country. Countries use it in Europe and I don't believe they have had problems. France uses it as far as I know, and England may use nuclear power to some extent as well. "My sister-in-law lives in the Atlanta region and she told me that 25,000 people had their gas turned off from lack of payment...." I have relatives in that area as well. I hadn't heard about energy problmes, but I know they have had a serious drought and so has Florida. I don't believe Florida will ever recover. The water table is very low. Sea water could get in. I heard on tv that even if started to rain, it would take five years to recover. I'm trying to get my aunt and uncle out of there. They told my mom that now you can see that the lack of water affects the trees. In the past, they said only the ground plants looked terrible. payment in her region alone! It's spreading across the country.
