I’m pretty much with Snake Hawk on this one.

Save your self the time and trouble of watching Newt and Sammy individually, and just play all four videos at once. I think I was able to get more out of it that way. Kinda’ like the Dark Side of the Rainbow, or something.

High gas prices are not the oil companies’ fault. I do own a small position in energy, the likes of CON, and while they’ve performed okay, it has not been a “windfall.”

Nuke plants are probably better than coal, and when the oil runs out, we have to choose.

I sell pieces parts for wind turbines and I understand that megabillion-dollar companies like GE hold about 95% of the leases. They make money in tax credits, not by selling power. It’s a false economy.

3 more words:get a clue.As in don’t believe what you hear from K Street lobby-whore ginkgrich.Try looking to a scientist like NASA’s Hansen(sp?)for an intelligent energy policy.He’s fought censureship from bush administration and come out the other side.Saw/heard him on C Rose other night;remarkably Charlie only interrupted the somewhat less than fluid speaking Hansen acouple times.Hansen’s plan:Coal burning = worst energy producing method in terms of CO2;irresponsible.Use nuclear power’s current wasteto power nuke plants(to my dismay.i don’t trust utilities or their inbred regulatory agencies to protect the public from such a potentially catastrophic method of energy production).No further mining of fuel necessary according to Hansen.No oil drilling in ANWAR due to delayed/limited output.Instead promote wind(which he said was NOW economically competitive),solar(which isn’t yet) and additional alt energy sources;and efficiency/conservation of existing power comsumption.Mostly obvious things.Nute only wants to put consumers into the pocket of a different utility.WAKE THE FUCK UP.Anyway.Which of you homos are hitting SS Worlds?

It’s not my job to make things cheap and easy for the masses. This is a private enterprise and the objective is to maximize our returns from the investments we’ve made. You people want relief? Buy our stock. Have you seen our goddamn balance sheets lately?

I always thought that Newt was a little off until I heard him speak in person. You may not like him, but he is pretty smart for a politician.

Drill here, drill now, burn coal, burn shale oil, don’t think past the end of your short noses. Ride your bikes. Get real.

Oh, and Sammy kicked ass. “Kicked” cause I don’t know about this whole Jimmy Buffett image he’s rockin these days.

The more I ride my bike the more I drive slower, cause well, after riding alot at 15-20, 55 seems like you’re approaching ludicrous speed.

I’m all for bringing back the 55mph national speedlimit. Oil consumption, the cost of traffic fatalities, the cost of wear on vehicles and roadways would be substantially reduced.
