  1. The Kerry-Boxer Bill Senate Committee action? My God!…what the hell are these people smoking? Action is defined by doing something other than talking. If anyone else tried to justify their income by such nebulous consideration of a Senate Bill they would be fired. They talk as if the result of what is said had no bearing on reality except who is kissing the behind of the “right” people.

Here is a time to preach to the converted. During the past dozen or so years, I have engaged in a number of conversations with well-compensated executives in the energy industry.
