Ayn Rand is absolutely amazing for foretelling this type of governmental intervention.

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is less about energy and more about control. The most ambitious projections by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy predict it will cut our energy consumption by a whopping 7 percent by 2030.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071223/COLUMNIST0130/712230369/1007/OPINION"><P class="bodytext">Ayn Rand could not possibly have known how prophetic her novel, <I>Atlas Shrugged</I>, would be when it was published 50 years ago.

Innovators, creators and producers are driven to destroy their own works rather than turn them over to the vultures who have taken over the government.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/32117B61-5655-4351-BFCC-FF148A398F5E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
