   Be Still Our Beating HeartsAn increase of 10 MPG in 10+ years is great but what about TODAY???
   How about DEPORTING 12 Million Illegals and saving 10-20 million gallons of fuel EVERY DAY???
   That should help the fuel crunch!

   Be still our beating hearts?Right! How about "Be still our dwindling pocketbooks, depleted natural resources, increased pollution and environmental destruction."
   
   Where have these reporters who are praising the Senate action been hiding? In Washington? Preparing for a Mars mission in the Gobi Desert?
   
   They are as far behind the times as the Senate, and probably less knowledgeable about the facts. (At least everyone knows to take what the Senate says and does with less than a grain of salt. Unfortunately, they are less cynical of inaccurate and abysmal journalism.)
   
   Is this an example of Grist's "environmental reporting?"
   
   If so, you've got to get some new material or change your prospective.
   
   As usual, the Senate is megamillions of dollars short, and several decades late. And, if even environmental gadflies like Grist are praising the Senate actions, then something truly stinks in Denmark (and Washington).
   
   Regardless of the spin put on the "action" by Washington Democrats (and wait, the Republicans are going to take some of the undue praise as well) it is little more than a placebo, a bone tossed to the people and the environment. Maybe, they think, this problem of dwindling non-renewable energy supplies will go away, that environmental problems will suddenly and miraculously be solved by some stroke of genius, that energy costs will not, by 2020, be priced out of reach of most of the people of the world,including the bulk of the U.S. population, and that all will be well, the sun will continue rotating around the earth, and no one will fall off the edge of the world.
   
   Maybe for Washington, and the journalists who believe that ooze (do not pardon the pun), their praise of the Senate action does not smack of collusion and duplicity. Fortunately, there are people out here who would prefer that they either report the truth or keep their mouths shut, pens in their pockets and laptops offline.   ...read more

   Give me a break!Give me a break - we drive SUVs, so what's the big deal? If people cared about the planet, there would be no trucks on the road.
   How many of us ship goods, and travel, by rail?  How come Amtrak spending is down and nobody even knows?
   We really don't care about the planet- but don't take my word for it, ask Michael Moore.  Mr Moore certainly doesn't care about destroying the planet when he eats too much.  (I wonder how many people have starved so that Micheal Moore could eat his meat.)  Eating meat requirs forty times the fossil fuel as vegetarian - I know, I eat less than six pounds of meat a year.   ...read more
