Also note that the article itself doesn't mention global warming, and is really quite dry - not exactly an enthusiastic "Yay, energy prices will be low!"
That said, the problem is with what's not mentioned. Global warming is the elephant in the room, and the government ought to be doing more and better research on it - and not covering up the results. |
Posted by ueberbill on 2006-10-12 09:55:22 | My main problem is with the AP writer- the possibility (nay, the near-certainty) that this is a result of global warming doesn't even come up- that this is in fact not good news (15 bucks? It's not even that good!) but a sign of bad news to come. Plus I've been looking for a place to insert an organ transplant joke for awhile. |
