When Will American Realize the World Has Changed?

The energy problem is not the fault of the Republicans. Neither is it the fault of the Democrats. It is not the fault of Presidents Reagan, GHW Bush, Clinton, or GW Bush. It is not the fault of the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate.

It is entirely the fault of the American voter. For the past 30 years, our oil dependence has never been a priority for anyone except a few lonely visionaries (Jimmy Carter comes to mind). The Republicans, the Democrats, the Congress, and our Presidents have done exactly what the American voter wanted: NOTHING!
