Let’s not throw all the green stuff overboard. We really do need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and part of the solution can be reasonable conservation methods.

Our local energy company has backed off of including the Global Warming nonsense in their ads. They should push for lower energy consumption and we should too!

Well, yes, but unless you're switching to electric cars it won't reduce your use of middle east oil by a single drop.

All the talk about wind farms and solar cells is great, but it doesn't change anything in terms of OPEC oil imports. For that you have to drill, develop your oil shale deposits, build coal-to-diesel plants, or else switch to electric cars and do it now and start building nukes yesterday already.
