-Caveat Lector- I just heard a news story about the "energy crisis". Here are the exact words of one question asked by Brit Hume of Fox News field reporter Jim Angle, concering how long it's taking to get geothermal plants approved in northern California: Brit: What is the reasoning behind those delays in approving the renewable plants? Jim Angle: Well, there aren't many environmental concerns because it's natural, geothermal energy. One of the problems at one of these sites was that snowmobilers were complaining that a geothermal energy plant might cause noise pollution. But one of the main reasons, and the reason cited by the Clinton Administration energy department in not approving it was that one tribe of Indians out of three (two gave their approval) had people who went out for what's called "vision quests" in this area. Hard to do with snowmobilers. Nevertheless, the Department of Energy under the Clinton Administration told the geothermal people that their project was not politically correct because these six Indians, these six Native Americans, went out on vision quests. Again, this is in an area where snowmobilers have two permanent camps. Herbs are often used in vision quests, are they not? Okay, so now we know that (a) those snowmobilers are hypocrites since snowmobiles are noisy themselves, and (b) our government laughs at the practices of the Indians.
