Ya' know, President Carter was wide awake back in the 70's with a full scale reduction and conservation plan, and even put solar panels up on the
White house roof, only to have Ronnie promptly take them down. He could only do so much, but my god, there we were back in the late 1970's poised to
move forward with alternatives, and the Republican administrations completely dropped the ball on that one. Now there are some Dem's to blame too of
course, and I'm extremely disapointed that in this election when it comes to alternatives at the podium, you can hear a pin drop with all three
candidates...
Here we are $5.00 per us gal., economy going to hell in a handbasket, and if we had a real leader, he/she would have done something, but then we do
have oil executives in the White house. I'm really hoping that from now until election day, that the two candidates will really start getting
serious about energy/fuel, and start talking about major policy issues about our future in terms of what we are going to do...now I'm afraid it's
even beyond rolling out alternative initiatives, now we are staring right down the barrel of a large gun and at the other end is eonomic depression.
I'm proud to say I did not vote for Bush twice!!! God I'm so freakin' proud of that statement, for what it's worth (heck, I didn't even vote for
him once, nor did I ever fote for his daddy, or Reagan although I wouldn't have been able to)...here we are at the brink of complete disaster, so
what difference does it make? I wonder if anyone on the Christian right is asking for forgiveness? Huh, I doubt it...*grumble, grumble*.
