that sounds like a very liberal idea, but it wouldnt be in anyone's best interest right now. Nope, cant even think of one person who's best interest it would be in except the owners of oil companies. Maybe one day like 10 years from now when we have an alternative energy plan in place and understand more about options.
right now the only thing in our best interest is keeping/putting money in our own pockets (and not giving right back to Uncle Sam) and keeping our country safe.
You also must be excited for cap and trade, huh?
