Re: Protecting the fuel trucks

Kirk, I don't disagree with you that there have also been bad
byproducts of alternative fuel methods. You seem knowledgable on the
subject, much more than me probably, but where I see potential, you
seem to play the devil's advocate (very well I might add). I would bet
that today's scientists could eventually solve or deeply minimize a lot
of the problems that you posed.

If it is such a pipe dream on my part, then why is that the supposed
goal of Bush's Energy Bill that was just signed?

"Supporters of the energy bill say that in the long run, the new law
will refocus the nation's energy priorities and promote cleaner and
alternative sources of energy. Bush has said he believes the nation
must find new ways, besides fossil fuels, to power the economy."

Based on what you just said there, I think we're closer than you think.
We both agree that inventions (revamped or new) will be necessary, and
I'm also a fan of individual responsiblity, too.

Hmm...not sure what you are getting at here Kirk. Of course, that
segment was a planned part of the show this morning. Why wouldn't it
be?
