It's pretty easy to not watch if you're not interested.

@basilma it wasnt a disaster, it prevented the end of the world as you know it

letting the economy fail and reset will make the country better in the long run, but only if you want to live in a wasteland until it recovers

Download as MP4 doesn't work for me! Why not? I prefer to download and watch later. :(

She is as left as they can go without being Pol Pot. Amazing this woman.

Hmm deleting my comments... ok. Here it is again. Anna Eshoo sold out America, she voted yes TWICE on the proposed $700 bln bailout plan. This allows taxpayer money to be spent on bailing out FOREIGN banks as well.

This is unacceptable, Anna Eshoo is not fit to be our representative. She must be voted out.

She voted for the bailout of Wall Street in 2008. What a disaster that turned out to be.

hey there's always opposing viewpoints just go & look....

there's tons of gun toting right wing bill o'reily listening webcam commentary up here, just go & look. this just happens to be longer & better produced.

it's pretty democratic, when countries aren't shutting it down for free speech. everyone's entitled to a voice, no matter how smart (or stupid) it is.

Feasible solutions that could win the war on waste of energy are outlined at the Miastrada web site. They could be implemented with minimal impact on the American lifestyle. (I have an interest in Miastrada.)

As energy legislation is being considered, it is critical that erroneous assumptions not result in support of flawed action.

Most of our electric power plants throw away twice as much heat energy as the electric energy they produce. (Average thermal efficiency of all fossil fuel fired power plants in 2005 was 34.4%.) And most electric energy that will be used to charge batteries will come from coal, for many years to come.

Knowing that there are power plant emissions that are actually emissions arising from operation of the car, it cannot be claimed that electric car operation is "zero emission operation."

I can't find anything on energy policy, though I can't fault putting IRAQ on center stage. Starting to redeploy is the responsible tactic at this time.

US strategy should look ahead to the war we should be fighting, which is a war on energy dependence and global warming. If we could take this on like we did World War II, we could achieve Kyoto planned reductions and $18 oil (John Doerr's number).

However, a major strategic error is to support the false hope for the electric car.
