QUOTE
Why should Joe Taxpayer subsidize somebody buying an economy car or more efficient/smaller house??? If somebody wants to do that, their reward is in the fuel and energy savings that result from it.


It's the other way around. those who conserve subsidize those consumption force us to have to involve ourselves in wars in the middle east.

QUOTE
until we get a cheaper source of energy (i.e. nuclear power plants all over the country)


I attended a lecture recently where it stated that if the US attempted to covert entirely to nuclear power, we would consume all known supplies of uranium in 20 years.
