I know what I am for, I know what I think will work. I could say the same for the politicians I support. I am clueless when it comes to you, liberals, and politicians like Obama. What is your solution? what do you want to do? What do you support? How do you think we should address our growing energy needs? I know I won't get any clear or coherent response, but I present the questions to make the point.
