Enriching the enemy

That's the title of an LAT editorial today that argues that the next president will need a global energy strategy, one that transcends ideology, to cope with rising oil prices. Well, yes, but such a strategy would involve nuclear power, more reliance on coal and drilling -- in ANWR, along the Pacific coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. But these are things liberals can't stomach, which means no energy policy can transcend ideology. Being liberals, the LAT editors can't see that. Their idea of a global energy strategy would involve more stringent controls on cars, more reliance on wind and solar power and kissing up to Caesar Chavez, Putin and Ahmadinejad.
