Let’s Talk Onerous Costs
From the heart and soul of the Democratic party:
Energy is one of three key issues Senator Barack Obama has said he will address immediately upon taking office in January. That’s good. Because America desperately needs a dynamic, integrated, comprehensive, forward-looking, well-constructed, planet-friendly energy plan. One that focuses on demand as well as supply. That doesn’t consider conservation a dirty word. That gauges risk realistically. That recognizes the mistakes of the past. A plan which remembers in every paragraph that the elephant in the room is not $5-a-gallon gasoline, but the far more onerous costs of murderous pollution and its partner, global warming.
Try selling that to a family making $40,000 in rural America (where everything is at least ten miles away) and looking forward to making the choice between a mortgage payment and filling up the fuel oil tank.
Oh but maybe they should check their tire inflation.
Message: We care, just not about you.
