John, It's the ONLY RATIONAL goal when less than 10% of the world population uses more than 25% of the world oil. And our GDP is roughly in a similar proportion. And our consumption is increasing our trade deficit, empowering out political enemies, reducing our discretionary spending and putting our low end workers "out of business". Our oil consumption is doing that. If every power plant built since the first oil crisis been nuclear, our dependence on foreign oil would have been a fraction of what it is today, with a side benefit of not wrecking the economy, hence the GDP above. Of course you will not hear this from the liberals, especially not from NY Times, that has argued fro more foreign dependence on energy (see Shoreham) when it fit their ideological needs, and now when it is time to pay the piper, they blame someone else. Didn't that read "not tax cuts for the rich"? Is there a difference between "<<not> tax cuts" and "increasing taxes"? Or is this another Straw Man argument? Not a straw man on my part, but an unnecessary nitpicking on your part. Joe
