Rush mentioned NBs twice today, quoting from articles here. I have approached the Maine delegation re artificially high oil prices, especially given the Northeast uses so much of it for home heating. It is $4/gal now and this is simply unacceptable given how much there is left in ground that we cannot get at because of "progressive" policies of the left.

One of my lefty buddies in town spouted right out"you should be driving an electric car!" Why, when my '97 Sentra gets 40mpg, more than most of the hybrids that pass me on the interstate. Try explaining the science and economics to someone like that! Smaller cars so you meed more  of them, you still have to produce energy, I mean it looks like they care, but they have not thought it through.
