Holy Poop!!! We're addicted to Oil!!!
 
With twin 150 gallon tanks, I already knew this. What sort of illusory
plan was floated in order to wean us from this nasty drug?

Just say no??

The best way to break this addiction is through technology. Since 2001, we
have spent nearly $10 billion to develop cleaner, cheaper and more reliable
alternative energy sources. And we are on the threshold of incredible
advances.

So tonight I announce the Advanced Energy Initiative -- a 22 percent
increase in clean-energy research at the Department of Energy to push for
breakthroughs in two vital areas. To change how we power our homes and
offices, we will invest more in zero-emission coal-fired plants;
revolutionary solar and wind technologies; and clean, safe nuclear energy.

We must also change how we power our automobiles.

We will increase our research in better batteries for hybrid and electric
cars and in pollution-free cars that run on hydrogen.

We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing
ethanol, not just from corn but from wood chips and stalks or switch grass.

Our goal is to make this new kind of ethanol practical and competitive
within six years.

Breakthroughs on this and other new technologies will help us reach another
great goal: to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the
Middle East by 2025.

By applying the talent and technology of America, this country can
dramatically improve our environment, move beyond a petroleum- based economy
and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past.

Our boat also has two 150 gallon tanks but with 1500+ mile
range, I don't feel we are "addicted."

Only he mispronounced some of the big words, and he displays
a sense of humor.

Uh, no. He sounded as if he were trying his best to read a script, but
still needed the scroll in English at the bottom of the screen. Algore can
read aloud.


Of course you noticed that Bush's approval rating (according to Rasmussen)
was at 48% before the speech. I expect the SOTU address to add 5-7 points
to his approval rating over the next three days. He'll be in the low to
mid 50's by the weekend.

Thanks, Bill, the prosecutor wants more evidence that you're

I don't want to rain on your parade, but do you know how much of our oil
imports come from the middle east? Now if he had said 75% of all our
imports . . .

It's nice to see your side coming around to an old idea. Carter proposed
complete energy independence by 2000, but then Reagan believed the market
would solve the problem and dismantled Carter's programs.

Prove it. And you have certainly not been replying to my
posts with remarks taken from other newsgroups "for years."

...Please provide the
"prosecutor's" phone number. I'll be happy to talk to your imaginary
friend.


Find it yourself. I thought you were very good at looking up
phone numbers?

You started it, Bill. It may amount to nothing ...although I
got a report yesterday that gave me more info than you
probably want me to have... or it may result in you paying
the price for the nasty jerk-off criminal acts you seem to
enjoy. I don't know what other nefariousness & hackery
you've been attempting, but others do. The investigation may
amount to nothing, or it may result in you paying a high price.

You started it, now you can't stop it... neither can I actually.

Excellent! Glad to see you have a fan base (not!) elsewhere.

You're following the Karl Rove principle that the enemy of
your enemy is your friend, right? You realize that's how the
Bush Administration has gotten into some of it's... shall we
say, less savory... situations.

You may find it to be so in this case, also.

Actually, it isn't. The 'burden of proof' is on the state,
in the case of your eventually being prosecuted.

How likely is that, Bill? I don't really know. Ya feel lucky?

You started it, now you can't stop it... neither can I actually.

Funny how you can't provide ANYTHING of substance.


Pretty strong reaction there, Bill. Who are you trying to
convince?


Heck, I haven't even heard from my ISP for violations of their rules -
because I haven't violated them.


Actually, you may have heard more than you wanted... if (as
I suspect) you work for a web service company... and if so,
you are open for prosecution of a more serious nature as
well as losing your job.
