Thanks for research, GUEST. I find it also interesting that Cheney got a nice little $17M send off check from the oil industry when he left it (haha, as if he did..) in pursuit of the vice presidency.

You know, the funny thing...ahhh, no, make that the sad thing is that all forward thinking people know that there will be a time when the world will have to harness wind and solar energy, and we have the technology now but not the will. Historians will look back on our "watch" as a time when greedy people put their interests above the intersts of the planet and 98% of its inhabitants that comprise its working/peasant class.

I have nothing agaist companies making a profit so for those who would argue that a lot of us are saying that profit is bad word are mistaken. We just need to rethink out energy policy, to retool our industries toward renewable energy sources and not strap our kids and grandkids with not only the reposibility for having the courage to do what we didn't but also clean up our mess.
