What hype? There is no crisis a little conservation can't do away with. Energy use is now down. Gas guzzlers and inefficient machines being replaced. The only energy crisis was the one started during the heat of the 2000 campaign by allies of Bush so that Bush could use energy as a weapon and at the same time greatly enrichen his secret backers, corporate constituents and buddies. Who do you think started Bush in politics? It was the oil business. The polluters. The massive contruction project guys. Include Brown+Root and Bechtel. Geo Schultz was the first one to approach then alcoholic GW about running for office. But only if he cleaned up his act. He went for it when he realized being Baseball Commissions was not going to happen. The payback goes back a long way. For 12 years or more. Bush was bought and paid for from the begining. And when it came time to choose his runing mate, who did he pick? A major oil executive from his inner circle. Half the White House is staffed by energy lobbyists and execs, even token black woman Condaleeza Rice is from Chevron. Do your research. Find out and then realize why GOP moderates are so furious they may never support Bush again. They are also scared Texas will steal their Grand Old Party. Bad enough with the Religious Right and NRA. No room left for them. I grew up with moderate Republicans in the East. They're environmentalists even if they are old money. And they still have power. McCain stands for campaign finance reform against soft money controlling our government. Bush is the product of that soft money. He never did anything to merit being president he was the soft money front man from the beginning. And now he's in over his head. No wonder he says recently he calls his father every night. "What do I do, poppy?" At least his father had experience and credentials. Worked all his life in government and was never an alcoholic slacker for 20 years.
