Politicians Avoid Serious Planning For The Future

While some American politicians have paid lip-service to preparation for the future from time to time, most continue to concentrate on short-term self-interested aims despite major fiscal and energy concerns affecting the nation.

Rather than enforcing serious measures to conserve energy, politicians and much of the media are busily promoting ethanol fuel, as if it were the solution to all energy-related problems. Despite claims that ethanol is “less expensive”, a recent article in the Toledo Blade brought up concerns that vehicles using it actually receive poorer gas mileage. It also quoted a Heritage Foundation analyst who indicated that a $0.51/gallon government subsidy is applied to ethanol, giving it the highest “pork(-barrel spending) per gallon.”
