Sure, you can blame the government, but remember that it's a government "of the people, by the people, for the people" and it seems clear that most of the people are like your neighbors, who want to fill their Ram pickups and Suburbans and dune buggies with cheap gas and really do care more about that than a polluted Gulf. Even Gulf residents, with the shit on their doorstep, are saying "No drilling moratorium." Which clearly shows that we as a nation are nothing but incorrigible fossil-fuel ho's. Tucson, with all its sun, should right now be totally off-the-grid and have nothing but solar-charged electric vehicles. But as long as the last drop of oil remains in the ground, no one will think far enough outside his or her comfortable box to make that happen. We're humans. We suck.
