You need to consider what the other alternatives are. Coal, for example. The anti-oil crowd likes to just assume that the alternative is some...
If we're going to have this discussion (funding) need to include the block grants the Federal Government gives the states, I would think.
Fair points, but I believe you can have all three. We do this all the time. The market is supposed to make things more efficient, and as they...
