A giant suckling sound (on Saudi Arabia's oil teat)

I feel there is no lesson more important for America to learn than energy and security and economy are all burdened by our reliance on foreign oil. Further, it seems to me that we export a lot of dollars to regimes that seek our downfall at our expense. What kind of self-defeating foreign policy is that? Do we want more of the same?

George Bush thinks that coal, the fuel of the caveman, is the solution to our energy needs, but America can do better and under John Kerry's leadership it will. John Kerry knows that asthma rates are going up in our children, global warming is a realitiy, and Chinese demand is fueling rising oil prices (See here). So, he has devised a plan that will take us towards energy independence, rather than backwards into Tiny Tim's soot-blackened London.

Here is his plan:

Energy Independence

If we don't learn to be energy wise we will be fighting continual wars to protect a way of life that is ultimately self destructive.
