So, you're facing an mounting energy crisis with oil at $4+/gallon and looking to reach $5/gallon by summer's end. Everyone and their brother are crying out for alternative energy sources, and the solar power community is rolling out breakthrough after breakthrough to make solar energy production cheaper and easier. So what do you do? Well, if you are the Federal Government, you announce a 2-year freeze on building new solar power plants.

That's right. At the HEIGHT of an energy crisis, we are cutting off the cleanest form of energy available "for environmental concerns." If Congress or the Bush Administration does not reverse this order by July 4, they all DESERVE to be thrown out of office in November. This is not just the usual government foolishness, this is downright criminal.

So what again is our governments plan to bring down energy costs? Don't build solar plants they might hurt native vegetation. Don't use wind power, it kills bird. Don't use Nuclear power, there is a 1 in a billion chance of a meltdown. Don't drill for more oil, the land than no one ever sees may not be as pristine. Oh yeah, that's right. The federal government had no energy plan.
Well, the health care companies are safe now. With the way gas is, people aren't as concerned that they don't have health care coverage.
Wedge, That may be the funniest off-topic comment you have made in the last 12 months. ;-)
:bows: just a random conspiracy theory that ran through my head. :)
