[Big Dave]

There are plenty of tools in the box, but they cannot be used as long as government stays in the way. When an alternate-fuel plant (Fischer-Tropsch coal gasification) cannot get a federal permit to construct, government is in the way. If reliable coal and nuclear plants are blocked because they cannot get federal permits, government is in the way. As long as government blocks the 40% more effient diesel engine in the USA, government is in the way. As long as government retains this arrogant attitude, I begrudge them a dime of my tax money. I'd rather give it to the Arabs than our arrogant government.
