Way to give a narrow view of a broad situation! :goodjob:

I know you don't like bush, but come on. There's plenty in that bill that will give kickbacks or tax reductions to people, like you and me, that buy fuel efficent cars and houses that use solar panels and wind generators to reduce the need on the power grid that gets most of it's power from fossil fuels.

This is an energy conservation bill, not lets get nightshade to pay 5 cents less for gas. There's a lot more to it than that.
