Today's EEI newsletter reports that:
"Democrats Call for Bipartisan Energy Summit; Bush Not Interested
Sens. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., led an effort of 51 Democratic members of Congress who are calling on the Bush administration to set up a bipartisan energy summit, the Associated Press reported. The White House, the report said, "showed little interest in such a meeting."
In a letter to the administration, the Democrats said: "Developing a serious long-term strategy to curb our nation's dangerous dependence on oil is long overdue." Such a summit "would be designed to produce solutions to move America forward more quickly on a path toward greater energy independence and security," they said.
Associated Press, April 6."
Good political move on Kerry's and Cantwell's part. Not to mention that they're right. We SO need a Manhattan Project-style push to get America off oil.

Here we are, the most windy nation in the world. Where the f*** are the windmills? There's a great big Plain out there with amber waves of grain where the wind blows ALL THE TIME.
By the time we get to those windmills (when oil runs out completely), I'll have palm trees in my backyard. And polar bears will be stuffed things in museums.
