Good COP: Conoco Touts Better Batteries, Cleaner Coal

Good stuff! All this R & D is great, and will serve us well some day. However, what we need is more ACTION on low-cost, real world energy solutions RIGHT NOW if we're going to survive our present growing economic malaise.

Of course, our Congress is out campaigning instead of working on this in Washington. Obviously, that's their No. l priority, rather than taking steps that will lower prices at the pump and help achieve American energy independence.
