The phrase "energy policy" gives me the heebe jeebees. When I hear a politician say we need an "comprehensive energy policy" I hear "we need a top down command energy economy." Bull Shit!!!! We need to get the government out of the way and let the energy producers do their job - and reap the rewards.

SB, The cost of living is going up, and you can thank the Clinton Administration's lack of energy policy for it. Inflation has been at historical lows under Clinton. Reagan declared that energy policy was not a business of the Federal Government, and he attempted to dismantle the Department of Energy. Read the following from CATO in 1991 before you blame Clinton for right wing ideas. WHAT NOW FOR U.S. ENERGY POLICY? A FREE-MARKET PERSPECTIVE by Robert L. Bradley, Jr. Robert L. Bradley, Jr., is president of the Institute for Energy Research in Houston, Texas, and an adjunct scholar of the Cato Institute cato.org
