I Told You So
Well folks, I'm off to the shore for a day or two, but before I go, I took a quick look at The New York Times site and saw they too are contemplating "Senate-cide" over our government's inability to get energy right.
Usually, I read something in the news, get up a head of steam and then let it simmer for a day or two before my fingers start to fly.
More often than not, I find just as I'm about to begin that someone has beaten me to the punch, and, to make matters worse, punched more eloquently than I possibly could.
Thus does a head of steam evaporate.
But this time I beat them to it.
This editorial in today's New York Times says everything I said in the blog I posted Saturday. Needless to say, they said it a little bit better, but hey, I don't have the luxury of being only an editorial writer. I've got a day job.
But at least this time, I beat them to the punch. If only I were convinced that it would make a difference.
Anyway, in this case, I'm willing to cut myself a little slack, maybe even go to the beach for a couple of days...

Ok, I read the NYT piece. I was amazed to see that government is shown to be the answer, via tax subsidies toward either side. I believe that a large # of people that bought hybrids bought them without thought toward a tax subsidy. One saw them simply as being more fuel efficient in most cases and bought them.
I would ask why isn't a subsidy given toward diesal cars? They are more efficient than most hybrids. Not to ramble. Get the government out of energy. The market will decide what the future energy sources will be. Enjoy the time at the shore with family, I do the same next week.
