GV,

Clinton had dozens of energy initiatives. He did not have a Soviet style 7 year plan like Bush is proposing.

The only energy problem we have in this country is overconsumption and waste. If people carpooled to work, we would completely eliminate our need for foreign oil.

GV,

Just commenting on the flow of money. A big oil supporting Texan get's elected, and enacts a tax cut. Most of the tax savings will not go to discretionary spending, but will go directly to the bottom lines of the oil companies, because of a rise in gasoline prices. Not much incentive to conserve because the additional money will be there from the tax cut.

I wasn't saying all this was done by design, only that a paranoid or skeptic could perceive a relationship. Did you note Exxon's earnings this morning? Gasoline is a very healthy business these days, probably better than semiconductors.
