re: #24 Killgore Trout
Our energy policy has sucked for decades. There are a lot of things that we should be doing like using more natural gas as a short term solution and developing solar, wind, and other renewable sources. We are way behind the rest of the developed world and we need to get serious soon.
In large part, the suck is caused by right wing politicians doing the bidding of energy industries. There are some Democrats in the energy industry pocket, too, but it’s mostly Republicans.
