Monday, June 19, 2006

In tough language about our dependence on oil, a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial asks:

. . .The good news is that energy experts in business and some oil companies understand this. As Joseph Stanislaw, an energy adviser for Deloitte & Touche USA LLP told The Wall Street Journal last week, "The transition away from oil may take 20 or 30 years, but it has to start now."
