Energy Policy influenced by Energy Experts

I've got to say that I'm shocked, absolutely shocked that energy experts are involved in shaping the Bush administration's energy policy. Why change something that has worked so well for the past three decades? In that time, enviro-extremists stopped all nuclear power plant construction; stopped all refinery development activity; stopped all upgrades and improvements to dozens of coal fueled power plants; and stopped power plant development in most parts of the country.

So Democrats and elite organizations demand to know why the Bush administration is being so arrogant by changing what has worked so well for a few at the cost of almost 300 million American residents?

Energy is everything! Economic output is either increased or decreased by the availability of cheap energy, in whatever form. That is why it's is critical for the United States to have a clearly articulated energy policy. That's not what has driven energy activities for the past three decades. Policy was handled, shaped, and regulations were written by elite and extreme left of center enviro advocates. Their handy work is today expressed in high cost electricity, almost $3 per gallon gasoline and diesel, and slow growth in energy efficiency improvements.

Seldom have so few made life so difficult for so many in the United States. It's now easy to see how far we were taken down this path of destruction. Anyone who votes for Democrats must understand that returning them to power will surely bring back extreme energy policies.
