The Energy Crisis and the Candidates
Created August 30, 2008, at 2:38 pm by Going2Green
As the Democratic Convention wraps up and the hoopla of the Republican Convention heats up Americans are still left with a sense of a lot of hot air of any concrete plans to end the energy crisis in America. Northerners dread the upcoming onset of fall and colder weather wondering how they will be able to afford how to keep their homes and families warm. Southerners have been sweating the high cost of energy raising the thermostat to save on their electric bills. Families everywhere are wondering where else they can cut back to cover the cost of fueling up the family vehicle to get back and forth to work and take care of the necessities of life. There is no money left for relaxation and family fun. The stress level continues to rise. The average electric bill has risen 16% to cover the power companies additional production costs. A gallon of milk is almost as precious as a gallon of gas. The cost of every consumer product has risen sharply. American's are stretched to the limit. Jobs are being lost, foreclosures are increasing at an alarming rate. Seems even the family pets are suffering the high cost of fuel as almost daily a new story is on TV about shelters being forced to euthanize record number of surrendered pets from those forced out of their homes or no longer able to care for them. The energy crisis in our country is far reaching and needs immediate attention. I am hoping whoever gets elected will get their act together and make this their #1 priority.

The politicians on both sides are immediately bought and paid for with oil company pacs. Out here in California, we've had both Democrats and Republicans as Governors, and the oil companies donated large chunks to all of them.
Are they going to really be concerned when big money tells them to be quiet?
It has to come from the people, gov't is deaf.

I think Obama had promised an energy revolution, while McCain insists on more drilling.Looks like Obama had a long vision about the energy policy.
