Le Shorter: What the People Want

According to prominent national pollster Al Quinlin of the firm Greenburg, Quinlin Rosner there is no bigger issue in the election than America's energy policy. Americans correctly see that policy touches our security, our economy and even "the American way of life". In Quinlin's national polling on the subject, 81% of Americans think that our energy policy is on the wrong track. The top scoring policy options in order are: investing in solar, wind and ethanol technologies; developing environmentally friendly cars; developing new fuels for transportation. Other popular policy options are clamping down on oil speculators and ending tax subsidies to big oil companies. At least one presidential debate should be devoted solely to this critical subject.
