I make my living building windmill blades, but I also favor drilling NOW for oil and gas, building nuclear power plants, coal plants, and developing alternative energy sources.
When will our politicians understand we need comprehensive, environmentally responsible development of ALL energy sources? Everybody is enjoying the TEMPORARY low price of oil today. T Boone Pickens even halted his wind power development. It's short sighted not to use this break to get prepared. We should be building those wind farms and drilling for oil, to be ready for when oil goes back up. Wait until Israel decides to bomb Iran's nuclear program, or OPEC decides to drastically cut supply. Oil will skyrocket back over $ 100 in no time... We will be caught, yet again, with our pants down. Imagine $4.00 autogas (not to mention AVGAS), on top of our struggling economy....

Dan, I hope you asked them why we were not going after these resources. (typo suspected in your message) I'll support all the alternative energy systems. But I also want drilling for oil and natural gas everywhere, my back yard included. Ed
