The Energy Bill

I’m against it. So is Rich Lowrey:

President Bush said the other day that he wishes he could wave a magic wand and make gas prices go down. That sounds like a plan that would almost be as effective as his misbegotten, long-languishing energy bill. Bush relentlessly touts the legislation as a potential salve for high gas prices, but it won’t be, because it runs afoul of a force with which Bush should be familiar — the free market.

Already we are seeing consumer choices change with dealer lots full of SUV’s that consumers are now shunning for more efficient cars. Price matters and the less the government tweeks it the sooner it will make a difference.
