Energy conservation isn't a left vs. right thing at all. One of my good friends directs a think tank that focusses on alternative automobile technology, and he's hard right Republican (much more to the right than me). hybridcars.com New technology needs to be paid for -- the Left wants to subsidize consumers, the Right wants to subsidize producers. Me, I am looking for a cheap oldish car that I can run on used vegetable oil from McDonald's. I can see how it plays out in the marketplace, in my quest to buy a new oil furnace. The highest efficiency furnaces can't run dirty, high-sulfur oil. But most people have older inefficient furnaces which can run high-sulfur oil just fine. It's really dirty technology. I grew up with clean natural gas technology so the dirt and soot from oil furnaces is something I find disgusting. I'd love to switch to low-sulfur oil or even better, biofuel, but can't get it around here. Maybe 2006, when the tax incentives to producers kick in.
