Actually, no. Almost all electricity in the US is provided by other means,
mostly coal.

Foreign oil is less than 25% of the oil consumed in the US, so because
more than 50% of the energy needs of the US are povided by coal, reducing
the amount of electricity used won't do much to about foreign oil.

If you want to reduce polution, CFLs would help there, but if you want to
reduce the foreign oil usage, drive less.

The next time a candidate for President says that if he is elected he
will bankrupt the coal industry, pay attention before you vote for him.

After obama, it would seem logical to consider shooting the next one ...
a prison cell would take care of obama -- and there are numerous reasons

While true, obama is no worse than any of the crooked presidents,
beginning with nixon, and including ALL of them since ... these crooks
are getting old, and our wallets and standard of living unable to afford
more of them.

It'll never happen. We're still waiting for Bu$h to rightfully have his
ass handed to him in Gitmo, but we know that'll never happen either.

So, don't hold your breath.....
