Pick Your Favorite Petro-Fascist

Ladies and Gentlemen, there is nothing new here except that now the public is finally waking up to the truth. But what they also do not fully realize is just how much Congress's inaction has helped contribute to our currrent situation. We need more production of every viable energy source.

What is a viable enrgy source you ask. One that is readily avialable at a reasonable cost. Such as natural gas, clean nuclear with recghargable fuel rods like the current (French design nuclear reactors), wind power, hydro-electric and geothermal. Also more drilling for our own oil plus building clean coal to liquids facilities.

What is not viable is ethanol from corn.

To put this in an easier to visualize context. The average cost of one killowatt hour of electricty in N.C. is 7 cents, the cost in Connecticut is 11.2 cents, Why the large difference?

For electricity the cost basis needs to be around 9 cents per KWH or less. For automotive fuel the cost needs to be around $4.00 per gallon or less. Anything significantly above this will sink families and businesses.

Tell your Congresmen and Senators especially the Democrats to get their heads out of the sand and act to provide abundant and affordable energy from all sources including drilling off shore.
