Oh, please. "Energy shortages" in California?!? ... The whole thing was completely manufactured!
You are referring to the "electrical shortage" of several years ago. Yes, that was manufactured but not by Enron. It was congtrived by the electrical wholesalers and helped along by a demoratic governor who did nothing. Thats why he is no longer governor.

Practice smart fire control -- engage in controlled burns, and allow naturally-occurring (i.e., lightning-sparked) forest fires to burn (within reason, and not at the expense of personal property or safety).
Yes, alternative vehicles that really work would be nice and people just might buy them. Proper forest management would be nice if only the Dept of Forestry was allowed to manage it that way. The eco-nuts take the Dept of Forestry to court every time they try to build a fire road into the forest wilderness.
As for Saddam, well he *was* our friend, wasn't he?
I don't know about that. Some say he was the lessor of two evils. And others say we put up with him because he had the money to buy the toys we wanted to sell him.
Of course, on the plus side, if ill-informed knee-jerk nature haters like yourself get your way, my house will be oceanfront property by the time my kids retire! If only they could still breathe the air...
I am not ill-informed and my knees don't jerk. I like nature as much as the next guy as long as it provides me with the things I need.\
