The people are screaming at gas over 2$.

I paid $6.00 for gas on a trip to England last October. I laugh when I hear Americans complain about the high cost of gasoline. I know it affects peoples lives. But, people need to think about things like fuel economy when they buy a car and need to think of alternative ways of getting around. People in Europe use trains and buses much more than we do here in America.

< Yes it's a good thing (wind power) but answer me this. Are you really prepared for the cost? The people are screaming at gas over 2$. Are you prepared to end social programs? Are you prepared to end the nonsense that you want? We can't build 2million dollar ski ramps for handicapped of 1 who selfishly demands access.

Where did you get the idea that wind power costs more? It costs about $1 a watt to install wind power, comparable to conventional plants when zero fuel costs are considered. What do windmills have to do with ski ramps?

< AGAIN I NOTE YOUR SO CALLED PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ARE SILENT ON THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL FOR CUTTING BACK ON ENERGY. THEY NEVER SAY A WORD ABOUT THE CHEAPEST AND EASIEST AND CLEANEST TOOL AVAILABLE. >

Huh? I missed that one. Give me a clue. I'm not a mind reader.
