I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. He hasn't demonstrated, here
or in Texas, that he's one of those kinds of politicians yet.

That would be better than selling "nucular" technology to foreign enemies
for campaign contributions, wouldn't it? And how 'bout Big Unions, etc.
All he said was that he wasn't going to do it right now because of high
energy prices, that doesn't preclude him from doing it in the future.

And this is all because of environmentalists and the nonexistent energy
policy of the last eight years. Big business makes the world go 'round -
they deserve a break. Democrat tax policy puts small business out of
business thereby ensuring the longevity and growth of Big business anyhow.

I drive alot and listen to alot of 24-hour news stations, I heard about it
many times there. I'll look when I get a chance - I'm currently in St. Louis
heading for Baltimore.

I can rally the troops at your command, Grand Admiral Sir!
My point was that only the U.S. is the target and concern for all of the
controls and restrictions by international interests. Environmentalists feel
guilty about our prosperity. Homeless activists (same ilk) will sleep on
sewer grates so they can "identify" with them, but won't accept them into
their own homes to shelter them. What does that achieve? CFC's were the
boogey-man of the past and were also shown to little to no effect on the
environment.
