BILL CHIROLAS: Where are the media articles on energy policy?
William Chirolas -- World News Trust

Where are the media articles on what we need as an energy policy? CNN just ran a silly "person runs car on water" story that was total nonsense, with the only achievement being discussed or shown being a massive amount of energy being wasted to make a little bit of energy stored on the hydrogen and oxygen parts of water.

Perhaps more important where is the Democratic Party position paper on what we need as an energy policy?

Now the media everything needs to be "fair and balanced" defined as having truth on one side along with partial truth lies from the other side’s Oil Company and Agriculture (corn) interests. But the Democratic Party does not need to continue deemphasizing the telling of the whole truth so as to be true to the DLC’s (and GOP’s) mantra “of avoid losing contributors to election campaigns, and avoid losing the votes of those that do not want to hear the truth.”

I am sure that the media is aware that gasifying coal and converting it to methanol is a much more energy efficient route than the indirect and heavily subsidized method of converting to ethanol via corn? In any case, the media says nothing to indicate to the public that the wheels have come off of our energy policy because of the incompetence of the Bush administration.

1. This is a good place to post this energy talk.
Friedman was on Charlie Rose last week. But don't let that turn you off. This was an extremely important talk. There are some turnoffs. Namely, Friedman isn't cynical enough. This is an hour talk worth seeing.

2. Bush's energy policy: Invade the Middle East and force them all to
submit to our will and sell us cheap oil. And kill anyone who disagrees (you know, the "terrorists").

The MSM is doing PLENTY of reporting on Bush's energy policy.
