Massachusetts Lawmakers Support Alternative Fuels

You might be wondering, what do hybrid cars and alternative fuels have to do with Space travel? The answer is easy: If we can't work out some of the simple problems we have here on Earth we're never going to get off the ground (so to speak.)

It's hard asking people to shell out money for a Space program when we have a million U.S. refugees living in shelters, unable to return to their homes due to storm damage, but we can't stop moving forward.
We also can't ignore the problems we have been plagued with for so long.

More than twenty-five percent of U.S. domestic oil supply was disrupted by Rita. Luckily it missed most refineries and platforms. But how many times will we be that lucky? Are there really any people out there who think we've seen the last storm to hit the Galveston area? Don't be ridiculous!
The hurricane season has just started. We will be lucky if we don't have another Galveston/Houston/NewOrleans strike by November.
And then what? President Bush suggested we "conserve" gas...

Not since Marie Antoinette declared "let them eat cake!" has a leader shown just how disconnected they were from their people.

I say, let us start to find our own solutions to the energy crisis. I don't want to use oil and gasoline any more! And if I have to vote out every incumbent legislator to make that happen, so be it.
We need leaders committed to real change, not figuring out ways to make it easier on the "good ol' boys."

Massachusetts is leading the way. It's up to the rest of us to follow...
