    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>Bipartisanship, perhaps an oxymoron already, brings us <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/04/AR2008090402844.html">an apparent oxymoron: "Drilling for Clean Energy"</a> from Representatives Jim Marshall and Roscoe Bartlett, writing in the WaPo:  </p>
<blockquote><p>
...a strategic plan to use the remaining value of our federally owned oil and natural gas reserves to fund a clean, affordable and independent energy future for America, a goal worthy of short-term environmental concessions and risks.
</p>
</p></blockquote>
<p>Their idea is to open up ANWR and offshore for drilling, but under changed financial terms that would capture more of the revenues for the federal government, and ensure that the money goes to develop solar, wind, nuclear, and "better" biofuels.</p>
