Oh, I see your point! Let's cut out ALL regulations concerning pollution...the repubs would be happy, people would die younger from lack of clean air and water and gas would be 35 cents a gallon!

We're SAVED!!!!!!!!!!

Stanford University Professor James Sweeney, the director of the Precourt Institute for Energy Efficiency, is not a believer.

"If he means what it sounds like it means, it's impossible." He says the U.S. consumes about 21 million barrels of oil a day.

"We import two-thirds of our oil now and the only way we can become independent is shut down industry and tell people they can't drive, tell people they can't fly," said Professor Sweeney.
