OK, one more political link and I'll call it a day.

Jerry Taylor recently appeared on an NPR show, and determined after a little wrangling that, the Left is of many, many minds when it comes to energy conservation - and all of those minds seem to coexist in the same head.

For instance, the government should (1) encourage bus riders and discourage car drivers and simultaneously (2) drive the price of gas down so that it's less expensive to drive cars. In fact he was "treated to a rather loud rant about why most people had no option but to keep buying gas." In other words, the Left considers it imperative to get the government involved in gasoline conservation while at the same time believes it's impossible to get people to consume less gasoline.
