Obama is an idiot part VI

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”
That sounds a lot like this:
“I ask Congress to give me authority for mandatory conservation and for standby gasoline rationing. . . . And I’m asking you for your good and for your Nation’s security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to set your thermostats to save fuel. Every act of energy conservation like this is more than just common sense — I tell you it is an act of patriotism.”
Do we want another Jimmy Carter?

Sorry - he is an idiot, but in this case he's actually on the right track. People can't keep bitching about the cost of fuel and then refuse to change anything at all about their consumption OR continue to shoot down every single alternative fuel source that has been proposed. Nuclear power is the cleanest, cheapest solution to our oil dependence yet the ridiculous misinformation, ignorance, and hysteria surrounding it make us unable to even have a civilized discussion about it. Bottom line - I certainly don't think the government should be regulating whether we can have SUVs or not but I have no patience for people bitching about the cost of gas to fill them up if they choose to have them.
I love my carbon footprint.
