Possibly the Longest Post Ever on Energy

Energy crisis?  Ha!  Want to get a glimpse at how much emphasis the administration is putting on research into solving energy issues?  Take a look after the break.

The really awful thing?  That graph doesn't even cover the most recent request for additional funds in Iraq.  If you included all the costs of Iraq, you'd end up with a chart that was like comparing the distance to Toledo, Ohio with the distance to the spiral galaxy in Andromeda.

The really important thing?  Small increases in those little bars at the bottom may be the best action we can take to make sure that one of those giant bars never happens again.  

The really irritating thing? Did you notice that, even when you get down to the tiny amount being put into energy research, more of it is going into coal than anywhere else?  It helps to have pals in the Oval Office.
