Look we have lots of coal and it should be used more but if gov wants to help this industry it should fund research to make the mining and burning of it more benign to the environment. Fund research to find out how to convert spent nuclear fuel into something safe. Building more plants without this is a big mistake. We will never be self sufficient in oil so research and development of substitutes is critical. Opening up anwar will make little or no difference. Knowing we are oil short makes conservation common sense but relying on the market might not work. If low income levels are priced out we will consume less as a nation but at what cost to society if people don't have the fuel to get to work. If you want to crush opec and get oil down to a true market price which it is currently way above we must cut consumption. Opec thinks the biggest threat to its future is fuel cell technology but Bush doesn't agree as his energy proposal only gives lip service to its development. A couple of days ago I suggested a massive govt program to wire all homes to high speed internet service. The gov built an awful lot of roads for cars why not build them for data?
