I agree with your sentiments on sustainable energy sources. One of which is solar energy. It has received a lot of support recently but not so much from the government. The corn-based ethanol subsidies obviously has become more and more apparent as a failure in policy and should be repealed to focus more on other places. I haven't fully researched into tapping our domestic oil reserves and thus wan't to refrain from commenting. I'll look into it more. As for the links section, I'd say I'm more of a left-leaning individual but I do have my libertarian moments. James, thanks for the feedback.

Note I said SUSTAINABLE and not RENEWABLE. The BS political line for a RENEWABLE fuel source is a plug for corn based ethanol support which will do more harm globally than good. Sustainable fuels would be sources such as Hydrogen Fuel Cells etc. that are abundant and clean as anything you could imagine. Legislating MPG rules will drive out domestic auto manufacturing by running their already thinly stretched R&D accounts into the red due to already lagging sales of CURRENT cars. Hiking gas taxes will just bankrupt the American public and kill auto sales in this country due to a complete lack of a will to drive or buy a new car. BTW, I want to add your blog to my links section but I'm at a loss to which category to group your blog in. Would you say you fit Right Leaning, Neutral or Left Leaning more.
