We need a saner energy policy. How often have you heard politicians say that? At the Northwest Leadership Breakfast, shortly after an important Broadwater decision, speaker after speaker spoke about our need for a saner energy policy. It was a gathering of Connecticut politicians and much of the focus was on energy policy as it applied to Connecticut. Connecticut has the highest energy prices in the Nation.

Yet where is that energy policy going to come from? The current energy policy, crafted in secret between Mr. Cheney and some of his buddies in the energy industry clearly is in the best interest of Bush and Cheney’s cronies, and not in the best interest of our country.

Last night at the New Haven Democracy for America Meetup, two members of ‘Fight the Hike’ showed up to talk about their efforts.
