During my lengthy withdrawal from blogging, I decided to try and learn a little bit more about alternative energy sources. I now subscribe to "Biofuels Daily Digest" so I can learn what people around the country and around the world are doing in terms of research, development, and implementation.
I also saw a commercial on "Fox & Friends" this morning paid for by T. Boone Pickens and featuring him talking about his plan for energy independence. If you click on the title of this piece you'll be taken to his website. He is currently in the process of building the world's largest wind farm down in Texas that will double our wind generated output.
Every drive into Lowville, unless nasty weather prevails, I can see the wind mills up on Tug Hill. I find them aesthetically pleasing, especially since they mean power generated without pollution and less money going to build opulent palaces in the Middle East.
I have not joined the ranks of global warming alarmists, but why should that make any difference? We may come at the problem from different perspectives, but our ultimate goals are the same: cleaner air, cleaner water, less dependence on foreigners for our energy supplies, and an America that comes together to solve the problem.
If we wait for the politicians nothing gets done. Since the 1970's we've heard about the need to develop an energy strategy, but neither party has delivered a workable solution - or any solution for that matter.
Regardless of who gets elected President, it will be up to the people to make all of the denizens of D.C. get off their lobbyist-buttered-butts and get something done.

Gas prices high = pissed off voters = denizens probably trying to do something
Gas prices low = voters say we can wait to do something = denizens sitting on their buttsyy
The only way to get the denizens off their l.b.b.is to unelect them. I heard a statistic today that congress has an overall approval rating of 9%. Yet i would bet sh*t to shinola that 99% of them will get re-elected. Ya see the poor electorate knows it isn't his congressperson that sucks its all of the other 434 or whatever the hell # it is. The average voter is a moron and it is reflected in our representation. 38 years of energy crisis and we still have our heads up our orifices. Now I'm pissed about our gov't. again. Damnit.Sonovabeach.
