Question Earthority!

“Most Americans are conflicted and inconsistent regarding their energy preferences and priorities. They tell pollsters they want to stop global warming and reduce dependence on foreign oil. Yet they squeal bitterly when energy costs rise, balk at views spoiled by wind farms, are leery of nuclear power (the only alternative that can really make a difference), and cringe at the thought of offshore oil development. Why don’t our political leaders explain why we can’t have it all? Because they lack the courage. They don’t understand, or are too weak to tell us, that there are no cost-free solutions.” (06/27/07)
