But we never see Democrats extending their hand across the aisle to further conservative ideas. This gang of 16 idiots is another kick the can down the road and let someone else deal with the mess. The tax implications are enormous. Please go to our website and read what the American Petroleum Institute says about this so called "energ plan".

We can't all replace every car we own, upgrade our home heating systems, and buy all new appliances overnight! It's not that American's don't want cleaner air... It's just that our budgets won't allow us to just replace all those things tomorrow! We're all stretched now trying to put gas in our cars to get to work. And we're thinking about buying home heating oil for the winter...and the economy is not so great inflation is getting the best of us, and lots of people have lost their homes lately.... So, we're all still pretty dependant on oil. And we will be for a while! One look at the Georgia conflict tells you we can't be dependant on foreign countries, who could turn on us any minute, for our economic lifeblood....oil!Energy alturnatives are gaining momentum, but time has to be allowed for the transition or budgets will bust!
