10-14-14 Dandelions and Energy – National Poll Supports Offshore Oil & Gas

  How Government Deals With One Invasive Species, The Dandelion by Dave Harbour (Point of personal privilege) This is, admittedly, a pet peeve.  The only way I could relate the dandelion invasion to our study of energy, is to make a point that bureaucracies will never be as efficient with public dollars as citizens are with family dollars.  In Alaska, oil pays most of the cost of state government while families pay virtually nothing in support of their state government benefits.
