A couple of points:

1. Dubya Gump (as some of you refer to him) AND Bill Clinton were smart enough to realize that if you take the profit out of an activity in a capitalist society NO ONE will want to do it. I'm for alternative energy sources also but you can't in one day switch a whole economy from oil to another fuel. UNTIL we do switch we will need oil and actually to tell the truth even AFTER we switch we will still need oil for the production of plastics rubber etc just not nearly as much as we need now.

2. Bush said we need to cut our dependence on foreign oil. Until the alternative is up and running the ONLY way to do that is to INCREASE domestic production, You don't do THAT by taking the profit out of domestic production. Furthermore, the enviros out there should think about this. Who pollutes more in the production of oil? The US, China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela or Mexico. The US is one of the "cleanest" producers of oil on the planet (strict EPA standards etc) so if you decrease that production you ARE GOING to get more pollution, oil spills etc. An example of this is in Florida where the enviros and Jeb Bush were successful in banning US drilling off the coast. So now Cuba is drilling 45 miles off the Florida coast. Gee, who do you think is going to pollute more? The US or a country whose technology and infrastructure are still in the 1950's?

3. I detest Bill Clinton, but Clinton had executive experience (why do you think Senators almost NEVER are elected President whereas governors are). Furthermore, whatever I think of Clinton, at least he was a self-made man not some hag riding on her husband's coattails. Were it not for Bill, NO ONE would even know who Hillary is.

4. Sadly you are probably right about Shrillary being elected president.
