I am not shy how I feel about this. Instead of raping our resources further - let's at least put some honest effort into renewable energy and fuel efficient vehicle technology.
& another thing...... since we're stomping all over our freedoms these days - how about making it illegal to own a Hummer or SUV???

"Once again, the oilman in the White House is echoing the demands of Big Oil," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "The Bush plan is a hoax. It will neither reduce gas prices nor increase energy independence. It just gives millions more acres to the same companies that are sitting on nearly 68 million acres of public lands and coastal areas."

Date: 2008-07-14 10:51 pm (UTC)Have you watched "Who Killed the Electric Car?" I LOVED that movie! One of the best documentaries.
Story: So I'm flying home from California a few weeks ago & as the plane's filling up this guy passes the empty seat nest to me and then turns and comes back. He begins to casually chat with me when he sees the magazine I'm reading which is about consciousness and asks me some question. We have this great talk about spiritual matters and he mentions he's a filmmaker and is working on a documentary about Rajneesh so I recount a story about my time in India and anecdotes about Rajneesh from those days. He says, "I knew I was supposed to turn around and sit by you." hahahah and it turns out HE was the "Electric car" film maker. It was so cool... so we've emailed about things a little.. such a fascinating fellow. I think htat movie is mind-boggling. Talk about a wake up call!

They already have 70 million off shore acres they could drill today - they aren't using. They don't get any more - greedy pigs.
That was such a political ploy yesterday. And McCain agrees with him. WTF if wrong with McCain - when did he completely and totally sell out his soul. He used to be against this sort of thing.
It doesn't sound like the legislature has any intention of lifting their side of the ban. Thank goodness.
Even T. Boone Pickens wants to go alternative.

Date: 2008-07-15 03:59 pm (UTC)Sunday my neighbor and I were discussing the water situation (he's off water grid - I'm on) and he brought up T Boone Pickens who I'd never heard of before. He explained who he was and said I should look him up. I even went inside and wrote his name on a scratch piece of paper to look into next day off. Never heard of him before in my life - now within two day two people mention him. So, you know I have to go and follow this Celestine nudge :-)
