Baldest Energy Independence Lie
OK - I think that McCain and Obama are both exaggerating when they announce plans to make America energy independent in the forseeable future. I don't see that there's any way, short of a magic wand, to do that. You can't build nuclear plants fast enough, speed up innovation in solar, etc. Remember - hydrogen isn't energy, it's a storage and delivery technology for electricity. And that's not going to happen quickly, either.
But hey - if you believe what you see on t.v., all it's going to take is a first term congressman from Upstate New York with a comprehensive plan for energy independence. That's right, folks, vote for Eric Massa. I was so intrigued I went to the web site and looked for energy policy. I didn't see a magic wand.
