American Energy Policy

Alexander Zaitchik (of the NYPress alt newspaper) is hopping mad at the Bush-Cheney Energy Policy. An excerpt:

“Nowhere is the manipulation of September 11th more crass in its execution and backwards in its program than the current Republican effort to ram through its energy plan, a drive that follows a GOP pattern of using unrelated events to push its oil-industry driven agenda. The administration’s energy proposals were outrageous and corrupt when first proposed, and make less sense now than they did then, if such a thing is possible. The reasons for this span from geopolitics to ecology, and together congeal into the central fact of the new century: how we choose to answer the Energy question will determine nothing less than the destiny of modern civilization.”
