I am thinking simplistically?
You did not even see the link between solar
and wind and cars?

Of course I am thinking hybrids right now.
Because we as a country have not put near
enough research
into small light batteries.

I cannot possible say all electric cars would work right
now because of the above.
I think about what needs to happen in the near future.

This is the really interesting thing about conservatives:
On monetary policy, they have a tendency to look long term.
The debt we are putting ourselves into worry them because
of future concerns... my children will inherit this debt and such.

But... when it comes to energy. The shortsightedness is incredible.
I dont get it. Can you explain this? Hardly any research (relative to other expenditures) into batteries.
Yet a huge amount of innovation on how to exploit a resourse (oil)
that is an end game. All these new ways to drill and methods to
detect oil... its bizarre.
