The CAVE people probably can't afford to gad-fly around with the price of gas today ;D
No matter what energy plan is put forth, someone is going to have a problem with it.
Your damned if you do, damned if you don't :(
By the time the nay-sayers get on board, America will be playing catch-up instead of leading the pack.
I firmly believe that we need a national energy policy with the urgency and commitment similar to that which put us on the moon.
Millions of new jobs would be created, we could become energy independent and maybe start to rebuild the nations infrastructure which is badly in decay. That would energize the construction trades and stimulate the economy as well.
 I'm as tired of being held hostage to foreign oil as I am to seeing the Detroit Lions lose every year :'(
Fortunately I think we can solve the energy crisis ;)
