Too bad Obama's cult followers will either ignore it or agree with it. Good news? If Obama wins, EVERYONE will lose. But that's not the real good news...Obama will lose!!!!!

That was a one-liner in a speech. You can't explain all the things that will need to go into a comprehensive energy policy in a stump speech. For example, leading by example will wake some people up. Remember Cheney dismissed conservation by saying it wasn't a viable solution. What he clearly didn't understand was that many little steps by enough people is the only true solution.

Lower the prices on items that will help conserve energy rather than raising oil prices. I have a feeling this will start happening soon.

You could do like Al Gore and live like a king with a private jet, have $10K power bills each month, then travel around and tell average citizens that they're trash for driving an SUV

Look what high gas prices did to the SUV. About damn time too.
Benefits to those who conserve like the Hybrids and rebates for those that bought supplies to conserve enerygy for their homes.

Tax the energy. If they're gonna tax the crap out of my cigarettes, I have no problem taxing their gasoline.
