I agree with both of you.  The US has the 9,000,000 acre ANWR (Alaska)
at it's disposal, and wanted to use like 2000 acres of it for its vast
oil reserves, but it got voted down.  Nothing like priorities.

I think SUVs face far too much bashing.  Ever count how many equally
large and wasteful pickups are running around...with empty beds?

Didn't the government also get rid of the CAFE standard?  I'm all for
free enterprise, but I do feel that we should be prompted (not forced)
to explore higher mileage (first) and alternative energy source
(second) solutions...

Let's not get this too political, OK?
