<<thus more political willingness for additional energy from additional sources>>

Will be an interesting battle as a possible Democratic administration comes into office with grand designs on a National energy policy...versus an activist constituency in the same party that would fight tooth and nail to stop building new Nuclear plants.

I think there is an immediacy to the price of oil (read, ultimately, gas) that doesn't translate to electricity demand and pricing the same way. We typically get the once a season local news story of "buckle down...why you will pay more to heat/cool your house this summer/winter". While gas prices are a constant lead right in the consumers face.

And hey, Warren was just talking his book after taking his first chunky derivatives hit...pesky WMD's.
