Robert I don’t know if I told you yet or not but I was just going through your stories and once again you have something cool here. I really hope you are getting the readers you so deserve.
Hi, Jim. I think I have quite a few readers, although I don’t get a lot of comments. To be honest, I barely have time to post every day, but when I do, I try to make it interesting.
Sorry I don’t get over here as often as I’d like since this blog does lean towards environmental issues.
As for this report the energy companies were sending their legons of lobbists to DC when the health care debate was going on last summer. Which makes me wonder if we’re ever going to get our country back from corporate interests. For now energy issues are dead.
“For now energy issues are dead.” And that is unfortunate. What good will all other issues be if the planet ceases to be a viable place to live?
