Bill Maher had Jeffrey Sachs on via satellite talking about what to do with our energy crisis,  and basically, we have to get these dicks out of office for one.  How the American people are so gullible and naive as to think that oil people are going to get us going in the direction of alternative energy is a mystery.  I guess most people are just plain stupid (like Maher said),  or else completely brainwashed by thinktanks paid for by oil companies and corporations that find arguments to use and pseudo-science to cite to combat what REAL scientists are telling us.
