The McCain policy of increasing capacity flies in the face of the last 40years of US energy policy of conservation and waiting for a miracle magic resource the takes away nothing and adds something. Like so many of these fantasy no cost to you ,no money down ideas it has lead to a dangerous dependence on importing foreign oil as a political tool in lieu of foreign aid . Yes there are many alternatives such as nuclear, natural gas and coal but expansion of use of these resources has also been stifled by 40 years of the “fossil fuels are evil lobby”.
Senator McCain’s recent performance and political mastery of appointment of Alaska’s Governor Sarah Palin puts him in the driver seat for this November’s election. Go ahead let the opposition attack “motherhood” and focus on family matters all they want, it is simply a non starter with the American public and will do even more damage to the wood be McGovern –ites.
This blogger for one would like to say good riddance to the policy of energy constriction and the whole 1970’s mentality and thinks the time may be right for change .Recent weakness in commodity prices maybe confirming a McCain Victory will lead to lower Commodity and Energy prices
