“AMERICA IS ADDICTED TO OIL”

So tonight,
I announce The Advanced Energy Initiative

We must change how we power our automobiles.
We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, and move beyond a petroleum-based economy and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past.

The best way to break this addiction is through technology. Since 2001, we have spent nearly 10 billion dollars to develop cleaner, cheaper, more reliable alternative energy sources, and we are on the threshold of incredible advances, a 22-percent increase in clean-energy research at the Department of Energy, to push for breakthroughs in two vital areas. To change how we power our homes and offices, we will invest more in zero-emission coal-fired plants; revolutionary solar and wind technologies; and clean, safe nuclear energy. We must also change how we power our automobiles. We will increase our research in better batteries for hybrid and electric cars, and in pollution-free cars that run on hydrogen. We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, not just from corn but from wood chips, stalks, or switch grass. Our goal is to make this new kind of ethanol practical and competitive within six years. Breakthroughs on this and other new technologies will help us reach another great goal: to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025. By applying the talent and technology of America, this country can dramatically improve our environment … move beyond a petroleum-based economy … and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past.

The defense rests.

Irony…it’s not just for breakfast anymore!

I do enjoy spreading my filthy veneral disease, until I eventually grow to adulthood and stop wetting the bed in my mom’s basement.

WAY too much information, pal…

BTW, I still love your posts, so keep up the great work!

Political Rule # 2. If you think a Democrat is wrong, refer to PR # 1!

Given those rules, just how can we expect Nancy-and-company to accept blame (for anything)?

“rather than join democrats who are working to lower gas prices now.”

I challenge anyone to name one thing democrats did or even tried to do that qualifies as “working to lower gas prices”. One thing.

“she is going to have to take ownership of the high prices”

Oh, I’m sure she will – remember that it was Pelosi who promised “to lead the most honest, the most open and the most ethical Congress in history”. As such, it would only be ethical for her to take said ownership. Yet, I still feel as though holding my breath for this would be detrimental to my health.

If the Democrats are working to lower gas prices, I’m a flying unicorn!

Pelosi and the Democrats are doing what they do best…OBSTRUCTING every possible energy solution while pointing fingers at the Republicans and George Bush.
