Socialist Energy Policy

(There's no such thing as a partial bridge)
Now is an opportunity for President Obama to forge the national energy policy this country needs. Since we (as a nation we) are only ready for grand solutions when presented with grand problems - its certainly now. The Gulf Oil spill is: unprecedented, will continue to be a disaster for the people of the Gulf Coast for decades, more than BP can pay, the turning point for U.S. energy policy - ?

This can be a transformative moment in U.S. history.
The Tea Party crowd (no, they are not an actual political party!) and the Republicans paint Obama as a socialist. But who else is going to create national energy policy?

Lets think about how the Tea Party would construct an energy policy. At the "state" level, keeping our 10th amendment rights in the forefront..

Think about this: You want to build a bridge to get from Point A to Point B. Across a raging river with whitewater rapids.

Do you built it incrementally, piling stones up at one side?

You can never get there. And if you try, you'll fall into the water.

You have to architect the bridge. You have to have the materials. The expertise. A Plan.

Point A - where we are now
Point B - where we will be with a national energy policy
