Message 17503724 Well yes bonehead, I do as a matter of fact. It is about time we had an administration that is willing to listen to experts in the fields of study. After reading your posted article, I was glad to know that we will FINALLY have a President that takes a comprehensive energy policy seriously. I really don't see the crime in adopting the sound recommendations of the energy industry. Are you saying that you have a problem with relaxing standard fuel supply requirements? Are you saying you have a problem with streamlining govt regulations ie. barriers to increased energy supplies? Are you saying that you have a problem with identifying and addressing federal barriers to permitting energy projects (e.g. projects to develop new supplies of energy, and projects that produce cleaner transportation fuels)..." Do you have a problem with cleaner transportation fuels? Do you have a problem with a rational permitting process for energy production in an environmentally sound manner by directing federal agencies to expedite permits and other federal actions necessary for energy related project approvals on a national basis? Are you against an inter-agency task force chaired by the Council on Environmental Quality to ensure that federal agencies responsible for permitting energy-related facilities are coordinating their efforts? Are you against organizing appropriate mechanisms to coordinate federal, state, tribal and local permitting activity where increased activity is expected? Are you against adequate refining capacity to meet the needs of consumers? Are you against the adoption of comprehensive regulations? Comprehensive energy legislation? A nationwide perfomance-based standard for gasoline and diesel fuels? Opportunities to maintain or improve the environmental benefits of state and local "boutique" clean fuel programs? I could go on and on, but I am a busy person, and it is quite apparent from your childish display and lack of knowledge that you wish us all to wear black uniforms and travel by bicycle. It is also apparent that you didn't read this article. Here you thought you found a nugget in the stream bed. Either that or you are totally against automobile ownership. Yes, bonehead I love that our President wishes that we had a comprehensive, non-government bloated regulatory nightmarish, expensive, inefficient energy policy. It allows all Americans a measure of security unknown for the last 8 years. I applaud our President for his courage and intellect. And you.......well I think you hate anything that our President does, and that you hallucinate, and that you have "little person syndrome." Try taking some image building classes. M
