Thanks for summarizing the Conservative rationale. Liberals and socialists and communists and tree huggers and pixie dust spreaders have been out front on the sitution (granted, in a house divided manner) for the "near term" of over 30 years now.

When's the last time a republican said, "You know what, we're fucking up our environment and we need to 'think outside the box' on this". Republicans are good at saying "think outside the box" so long as it doesn't involve cost, production and availability, unless it comes to a near term SPENDING policy of sending troops to throw out a bumbling dictator in order to create global instability.

What a great use of our most valuable resources... Your shot, Iam. You're growing on me, baby! :thumbsup:
