Whether you're prone to agree with CD that oil is passe and a wasted effort spent on a diminishing resource or with the likes of myself who believe that we should pursue all resources, absent government subsidy, the fact of the matter remains that government is
not the facilitator of energy policy. It is in fact the inhibitor of virtually any progress in the energy field. Those in favor of solar are now officially welcomed to the world of government-the one you thought might be your friend. Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it. In this case, the Mojave squirrel has put the kibosh on your solar panels for two years. And if you think that this will be resolved in a mere two years, I've got a bet for you. We'll be pumping oil out of ANWR before you see those panels erected in a wholesale manner. Any takers?
