I'm in favor of keeping tax breaks for oil companies and attaching a condition that the oil companies hasten their transition from being oil companies to being *energy* companies. Like it or not, oil companies are in the best position to advance alternative energies like solar, wind, and hydrogen.
How does one force a company to diversify? Tax breaks are one way I suppose. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Sorge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 9:56 AM To: CF-Community Subject: So, another exercise in futility?

It has yet to pass the senate, and we know that Bush comes from oil money so surely *he* is not going to allow anything negative towards the oil companies to pass. It would be nice though if something good did come out of this seemingly waste of time. I am tired of paying over $4.00 a gallon for diesel while all the big oil companies get fatter. Fortunately though I only drive five miles to work so 38 gallons of fuel lasts me a while. Bruce* * -- "We have the best Congress that money can buy."
