The Energy Policy Act of 2005
What the Energy Bill Means to You
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT), signed by President Bush on August 8, 2005, offers consumers and businesses federal tax credits beginning in January 2006 for purchasing fuel-efficient hybrid-electric vehicles and energy-efficient appliances and products. Most of these tax credits remain in effect through 2007.

THE INSTANT SOLUTION TO OUR NATION’S APPETITE FOR GASOLINE IS TO LOWER THE SPEED LIMIT AND ENFORCE IT. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN AT LEAST A 10% SAVINGS AT 55 MPH COMPARED TO 65 MPH. EVERYONE DRIVES OVER THE SPEED LIMITS!
APPEAL TO ALL DRIVERS TO SLOW DOWN AND SAVE – GASOLINE & LIVES!!!!!

No Corporation Left Behind!

Waiting for Adam Smith’s invisible hand will be as long a wait as the second coming of Jesus by christian zionists. There is no competition as the SEC made sure of that. Deregulation has created monopolies and oligopolies, precisely the opposite effect of what the SEC was created for. The FCC is another division of our government that hasn’t been worth a tinkers damn.

Technology is available, but even the Apollo Alliance is a dead cow that sucks in cash and has done nothing but generate doctored numbers from the states to meet what is supposed to be energy savings. Today’s technology and energy efficient amplification, low power/high torque motors, wide spread light weight composites and metal alloys…should have cut the cost of the average home appliance and HVAC system by up to 85% from what was available just 10 years ago. I see nothing on the horizon from any major manufacturer at the trade shows that suggest that we can expect the application of new energy saving technologies in the future. Once again, without real competition, the consumer can expect planned obsolescence and technology moving at a snail’s pace for products in the home.

Finally, the Americans persist in thinking that oil is endless and will not buy efficient cars and trucks in quantity. None of the American car makers create diesel or hybrid engines. They have to purchase them from other companies in Japan or Europe. The likelihood of hydrogen fuel cell cars is almost nil as there are no companies that are willing to put money into a distribution system. If it wasn’t for our representative government (when it was a representative government), there would be no internet, world wide web, interstate transportation system, satellite telecommunications system, landline communication system, clean tap water available to all, clean air, safe foods & medications, electricity and safe and equitable distribution, … Corporations have never been able to create and implement anything on the scale of what is necessary to cover the entire country and it would be nuts to think that they could or even should.

Supreme Crooks…’err Court… Justice Antonin Scumlia is right this minute taking grave exception to those misguided remarks…

One of the first things Bush did when he got in office was to create the National Energy Policy Development Group, which was chaired by Cheney.

But, what the heck was Cheney doing in 2001 with his secret, nontransparent, Energy Task Force then?

The report – entitled “Energy Task Force: Process Used to Develop the National Energy Policy” – and its accompanying Chronology strongly imply that the Administration has, in effect, been paying off its heavy-hitting energy industry contributors. It also very strongly implies that Vice President Dick Cheney lied to Congress.

Got to give a shoutout for the movie, “Smartest Guys In the Room”. A story about the rise and fall of Enron. Watch how they cooked the books with imaginary and hypothetical profits and manipulated the energy markets. And even get to see Bush Jr. and Bush Sr.

I can understand why Don doesn’t want to look like himself, though.

Gore & Redford in ‘08?
