Long ago and far away we all cut our usage and they raise our rates.. we can't win..

But that was before deregulation. It's a free market now, baby! No gummit bailouts this time! At least, not for us mere consumers. For the energy companies, definitely!

Thank the Democraps and the environmental whackjobs for pulling the plug on nuclear power. Even FRANCE generates 80% of heir electrical needs from nuclear power.

Want to keep getting robbed?...Keep voting for the Democraps!

High-fives and back-slapping all around in the offices of Big Oil and at Halliburton's new headquarters in Dubai, when the Bush Administration recently put a stop to new solar power plants on public lands.

DENVER — Faced with a surge in the number of proposed solar power plants, the federal government has placed a moratorium on new solar projects on public land until it studies their environmental impact, which is expected to take about two years.

The Bureau of Land Management says an extensive environmental study is needed to determine how large solar plants might affect millions of acres it oversees in six Western states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.

But the decision to freeze new solar proposals temporarily, reached late last month, has caused widespread concern in the alternative-energy industry, as fledgling solar companies must wait to see if they can realize their hopes of harnessing power from swaths of sun-baked public land, just as the demand for viable alternative energy is accelerating.

“It doesn’t make any sense,” said Holly Gordon, vice president for legislative and regulatory affairs for Ausra, a solar thermal energy company in Palo Alto, Calif.“The Bureau of Land Management land has some of the best solar resources in the world. This could completely stunt the growth of the industry.”

According to Phil Gramm, John Sidney McCain III's top economic adviser, you're all a bunch of "whiners." We're not in a "real recession," we're in a "mental recession," says Gramm.
