Mindmeld, > I can and will say the exact same thing. Only problem is that your belief in "renewable energy" is based on liberal fantasies, while my belief in limited government goes all the way back to the Founding Fathers. Nothing wrong with pursuing alternative energy, by the way, but it seems "hope and change" is more concerned about socialized medicine and "spreading the wealth" than they are about getting us off of foreign oil.
