47% say...

have i mentioned that I recently became the proud owner of a scooter? yes, it's my way of bringing down the price of gas in my own life... since i can't afford a natural gas car right now.
but we've got to do something about this energy problem.

The Associated Press says: "A new poll shows high gasoline prices have dramatically changed Americans' views on energy and the environment. More people now say expanding oil drilling and building new power plants is a bigger priority than energy conservation.
The poll by the Pew Research Center shows nearly half of those surveyed -- or 47% -- now rate energy exploration, drilling and building new power plants more important, compared with 35% in February. "

hmm... i guess we're starting to understand that we've got to start taking care of ourselves...
