Today's Thomas Friedman column derides Congress' newest energy bill and insightfully outlines some possible alternatives, with Brazil as a comparison case.
Says Friedman:
It seems as though only a big crisis will force our country to override all the cynical lobbies and change our energy usage. I thought 9/11 was that crisis. It sure was for me, but not, it seems, for this White House, Congress or many Americans. Do we really have to wait for something bigger in order to get smarter?
Couldn't have said it better myself. Although I personally can only muster up enough energy to sit on the couch and read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Ah, summer.
