I dunno about anyone else, but it's entirely obvious to me why "the chips fell the way they did": Conservatives in this country can't see past the short-term pain of all the extra money that has to be spent -- businesses retooling, tax increases and enforcement penalties -- to reach the long-term gains that would come from changing our energy sources. It feeds into their deep-seated hatred of any public restraint on commerce (i.e., regulation, taxation etc.).

It's like I've always said: Most conservative domestic policy boils down to "Get your damn hands out of my wallet, you commie liberal perverts!"
