Here is the latest Republican solution announced, in very general terms by the Sen Minority Leader yesterday:

* open parts of ANWR and the OCS to drilling

* invest in the the development of oil shale in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah

* invest in clean, coal-to-liquid fuels

* accelerate the development of advanced batteries to power plug-in hybrid vehicles

* encourage the construction of new refineries

* suspend filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for six months

Anyone impressed?

This is the week of dueling energy plans. The Dems will be released later today.

Now if they could only work together on something sensible and meaningful with a focus on long-term, environmentally and economcally sustainable solutions and a recognition of the need for short-term sacrifice.
