Liberal Incoherence on Energy Reform

Jonah, down on the Corner, summarizes the "liberal line" on the energy crisis:

We are horribly dependent on foreign oil. But we shouldn't develop domestic oil or boost our refining capacity. We need a gas tax to wean Americans from foreign oil, but high gas prices are an outrage. We need alternative forms of energy, but we shouldn't use nuclear power. We need renewable, sustainable energy, unless it spoils the view of rich liberal icons.

It's right -- the Democrat position has been completely incoherent.

This is what happens when you try simultaneously to service the interests of the environmentalists, the protectionists, the anti-nukers, and the super-rich while trying to pose as the party of the common man.
