>> When you have a net negative import bill of $50 billion which was the amount last month and $30 billion of that was due to importing oil, a national energy policy is desperately needed. Oh, no doubt we need a national energy policy, but this has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the light bulb debate. NOTHING. We do NOT use imported oil to make electricity. Your entire post was about imported oil, a TOTALLY unrelated topic. Now, I've said here frequently that we need an energy policy to get us off foreign oil -- which NG can do in the shortest possible time. Yet, this administration has scarcely mentioned it. And the Left opposes it fervently. Back to the subject. If I want to pay $5/gallon for gas to burn at 8 mpg, WTF business is it of yours or Obama's or Congress'? We can get off foreign oil easily by using our own resources. We don't need government to do it for us, they just need to get out of the way. Chesapeake yesterday said "We're not going to wait on any energy policy. We're going to do this ourselves". Good for them. Just stay out of the way.
