Did You Know...

This country will never fully embrace algae as long as people can afford gasoline, and Joe Kennedy v3.0 is running on a platform of doing something about that.

From the Daily Caller:

As gas prices continue to soar around the country, Joe Kennedy III, the Democratic candidate for Rep. Barney Frank’s seat, wrote an online letter to supporters calling for an end to “cheap oil.”

“Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama — they’ve all talked about the same thing: the need to wean ourselves off our debilitating dependence on foreign oil,” Kennedy wrote.

“The cycle that allows cheap oil to trump tough choices has to stop,” he continued. “Forty years is enough.”

Presumably the “tough choices” Kennedy is referring to, as evidenced by the lack of any reference to increasing domestic production as a replacement for oil imported from foreign countries, is the switch to cleaner forms of energy. That’s interesting coming from somebody whose family fought tooth and nail to put a halt to Cape Wind.
