one more letter to the fuckers in Washington

Dear Blank,

Do you think that maybe now is a good time to start listening to T. Boone Pickens’ plan to convert our trucking fleet from oil to natural gas? 

I know it will be costly; but it is time to get off our oil addiction and diversify our sources of energy.  Was the Gulf Coast really worth destroying so we can keep gas prices at the pump artificially low.  And I say “artificially” because we clearly do not price the stuff to reflect its actual cost.  That cost includes environmental damages, the one in the Gulf being only the most visible, and all the wars we continually incur in the Middle East to supposedly keep the region stable.  No, the price at the pump does not in the least reflect our costs. 

Please stop listening to lobbyists for the oil industries, stop cow towing to the Saudis, and start listening to some other lobbyists... or if you can find your conscience, start listening to it for a change. (and yeah, I want a lot more nuclear power--- just in case you are classifying me as one more liberal environmentalist nut)

Really mad in SC,

Katya Cohen
