I understand that after the immigration fiasco people might be too disgusted with our Congressional representatives to get angry about something else, but in my opinion they need to get angry about the Energy Bill currently before the Senate. The bloated, pork-laden Energy Bill of 2005 was supposed to deal with energy issues for the foreseeable future. No such luck. This Energy Bill, S.1419, is far, far worse. It will raise energy prices, raise food prices, increase hunger, worsen appliance performance, make the roads more dangerous and bring back Carter-era gas lines and shortages just when we need them the least – after disasters. It’s a horrendous concoction of every bad energy idea imaginable and will impact every family trying to make ends meet around the country. It’s unbelievably stupid in its rehashing of failed ideas and do-it-yourself economics. It needs to go down in flames, and soon. I’ll have more detail on Planet Gore.
