The Energy Debacle: John Kerry Was Right Last Year
The Energy Debacle: John Kerry Was Right Last Year
August 2nd, 2005

Things look bleak in the realm of “oil- supply-and-demand.” Although Congress just passed the long awaited Energy Bill, it will have no effect on the oil crisis. None what so ever - “zero, by even its supporters’ admission.”

According to the Energy Department, for the next 18 months, the demand by ravenous consumers, not just here but most especially in the developing world, with China in the lead, is going to keep escalating. In the United States, demand should ratchet up to 21.3 million barrels a day as the economy keep growing slowly.

Over time, however, it gets worse, a situation completely ignored by last week’s energy legislation, which is likely to be the last major word on the subject until President Bush is safely retired to Texas.

This bleak outlook on The Energy Debacle is neatly explained in Thomas Oliphant’s column today. He also points out alternatives that could have made a difference in the Energy Bill and he ends by echoing words we’ve all heard a lot recently… “John Kerry was right last year.”

4. He's one of the few who will tell it like it is
He trusts the American people with the truth. Howard Dean does, too.

6. Kerry was right about everything.
It makes me sick every time I think about that election. I remember waking up in the middle of the night on November 2/3 and wandering into the room where the television was perpetually on for the count. When I saw what had happened I threw myself on the sofa and burst into tears. It was a horrible moment . . . and now it's gotten worse.

7. How long do you think it will take for others to realize
Kerry was speaking truth and change in the election and Bush was speaking lies and distortions?
