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.
