I know. And I was mostly....tweakin at ya too. I do thank you for your tax dollars though!
I do think sometimes the government needs to protect us from the market. My biggest worry right now is our dependence on oil. It's not going to last forever. And I don't trust the market to provide a solution quickly enough. If the government can plan ahead and come up with some feasible alternatives through subsidies or what have you, I'm down with that.
I hear ya. It might surprise people to know (or maybe not) that the national college debate topic in 1977-78 was (following several Whereas points) Resolved: That the US government should explore independence from foreign oil.
There is a reason (beyond corporate greed) that we are still reliant on fossil fuels. Plain and simply put, there simply is not a better fuel alternative. Ive read some things about H3...some other more potent fuels, but unless we are ready to embrace nuclear power...right now...well...this is it.
