"Once the truth is told, no one will ever believe that the energy experts in the Clinton Administration were just too stupid to see it coming; too stupid understand these simple energy principles that can be taught to a child...?"

Isn't the more likely explanation that they bought into the myth that as price went up, we'd find more oil? 10 years ago they could have re-instituted 55 mph speed limit, acelerate fusion research, started to build windmills, and at least raised the possibility of a transition to a sustainable future.
