Vote For Energy

by A SiegelFollow

Today, the American Petroleum Institute (API) opened yet another astroturf campaign -- sort of, considering massing amounts of public advertising in the nation's newspapers -- advocating that Americans "Vote for Energy".   API's concept of Voting 4 Energy is pretty straightforward:  continue subsidizing polluting fossil-foolish policies that are bankrupting the nation. (Consider the roughly $1 billion / day for oil imports at this time with $trillions having left the country to foster 21st century Arabian peninsula infrastructure rather than modernize America's schools and hospitals, fix our sewers, and ...)  API doesn't  want Americans to Vote 4 Energy smart politicians, but wants Americans to embrace anti-science syndrome concepts that will hinder achievement of a livable energy system.   API seeks to assure an Energy Stupid America rather than using its significant clout to help foster policies to strengthen and enrich the nation.
