Senate overwhelmingly approves energy bill.

I'm not sure whether I should support this new legislature or not. While it has good measures, like boosting ethanol-based gasoline (made from corn), I really see through them to the bad measures. Like giving money to oil companies. How exactly is that going to help us? Yes, they will be able to drill in more places and hence gain more oil, but they will still charge us an arm and a leg, which just means more profit for them. Another thing I don't like is the tax-breaks for those that purchase hybrid-vehicles. I don't have anything against hybrids or people that drive them, but since the current hybrid market involves mostly overseas manufacturers, how is buying hybrids supposed to help the American economy? I live very near Detroit, so cars have always been a part of my life. How are the Big 3 going to handle a boost in hybrids if they have very few to offer themselves?

And I sure am glad they fixed daylight savings time! Sarcasm
