Mark, This is a great topic. All political sides are part of the problem. The left hates the idea of subsidizing an energy company - they are all evil. The right hates higher prices for fuel. As a result we have a stalemate. Energy independence is available. The political will to achieve it is not. The debate in many ways is similar to Social Security and Medicare - reasonable solutions exist - but the issue in elections is far more important. Oh yeah - last week gas was less than a $1.30 last week here. Bob

Hi Mark, (I saw Bearcat's post too and I agree) there is too much politics involved in energy on both sides. The US is rich with coal and certainly if used properly instead of being treated as a pariah it could give the US plenty of time to develop alternatives. Of course being humans we all typically wait until our backs are up against the wall :o) BTW we have the largest coal fired generation plant in NA up here in Ontario. Our new Liberal (the name) government is committed to eliminating coal and replacing with NG... regards Kastel
