On Sat, 23 Oct 2004 12:12:50 +0200, in a place far, far away, "Ool"
made the phosphor on my monitor glow
in such a way as to indicate that:

We might be able to get it on-topic by mentioning the need for alter-
native energy and things such as solar power satellites as opposed to
the invasion of politically unstable places full of oil.


One of Kerry's goals is less dependence on oil. I don't know that he
supports the notion of SPS, though.


If he does, he's certaintly never mentioned it.



It isn't important so much whether he supports the SPSs themselves but
whether he supports the technologies leading up to them--the hydrogen
economy, ensuring that we can produce motor fuel out of fossil fuels
other than oil but also out of water and electricity, i.e. any energy
source--renewable or not.


The Bush administration already supports that. It's a part of their
energy policy.
