Then why did it take so many years for Bush to even mention alternative energy?

Get your head out of your republican butt and look at the real world.


Because all of the alternative energy sources except arguably nuclear
are a bad economic bargin until petrol hits $4.50 a gallon.

We use dead dinosaurs (ok, algea) to run our cars because they're
REALLY, REALLY cheap, compared to all the alternatives.

It's true that it's not as cheap as it used to be.
This shouldn't be a surprise to you. You will never move
a 3,000# chunk of metal with you inside it around the
country for less than $0.10 a mile again. Get used to it.
