GUEST,Larry K BS: Americans addicted to oil (42) RE: BS: Americans addicted to oil 03 Feb 06

Words are just words.   We need action.   Mentioning renewable energy and setting a goal for 75% oil independece are a good start.   Thats more than we got in th past 13 years with Clinton and Bush. Lets see what action they really take.

Note:   President Bush has been awful for wind energy. Governor Bush was great for wind energy. During his term as Governor Texas installed more windmills than anyone in the coutry except California.

There are 6,000 MW of wind energy in the USA and Texas has over 1,300 MW of them. (almost 25% of the total country) A pretty impressive record for an "oil" state.   Austin Energy is considered one of the leading renewable companies in the country.

If we could only get Ted Kennedy and Walter Cronkite on board with wind energy......maybe if we put a martini on each blade of a windmill Kennedy will endorse it.
