William,
On the one hand I am deeply skeptical of the idea of the gov't trying to pick economic winning horses. On the other, the country is desperate for a rational energy policy that gets $$$ out hands of the oil oligopoly (I am thinking Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia Iran etc) and begins to address the issue of man made climate change (as a scientist inclined to trust the collective judgment of other scientists, I am afraid I am a believer). The answer favored by as diverse figures across the public spectrum as Tom Freedman and Charles Krauthammer, is a gas tax of about a buck. Fat chance of that.....
Eli
