Investors and business leaders are demanding a stable and realistic regulatory environment. Pandering to get elected will hurt more than it helps. Don't get me wrong, I support a move towards a more flexible approach to our energy and environmental challenges. This whole top down net-zero scam, and all electric panacea dooms us all to failure.

No matter who gets elected, the US will need to seriously upgrade our electrical grid and generating capacity. This can't be done by only using windmills, solar panels, rainbows, and unicorns.

Conservation will play a major part in this also. Hybrid vehicles should have a greater role in this. They are a real and practical solution, yet only one piece of a complex puzzle. What works against true resource conservation are the electric vehicle energy hogs like the Jeep Wagoneer S and the Dodge Charger Daytona. Should we have to pay higher taxes and utility bills, so a wealthier person can have a huge battery pack and high charging speed ?
