-- And there is great side benefit for culture war spectators: They can pull up a ringside seat and watch as the global warming faction of the environmentalist movement thrashes the anti-biotechnology wing.--

--that would be fun to watch--

I wonder how much petroleum the USA would save if all children were home schooled, thus eliminating school buses, and the heating and lighting of school buildings.

BTTT!

I am of the opinion that government should just get the heck out of the way on energy policy, but this article is making me rethink that stance. However, there are a couple of Constitutional issues.

First of all, there is no constitutional power for an energy policy period. Congress has the power to regulate commerce, but I'm not sure that would extend to FFV standards. If it does, more power to them.

Bush could also order the FFV standards by executive order as part of the War on Terror (to decrease funding to the entities that we're currently playing "dhimmi nation" to), but I'm not sure that Congress gave him such a power when they authorized the use of force in Afghanistan or Iraq. Again, it seems to be up to Congress to draw up the proper legislation or constitutional amendment.
