But the reaction was a tiny, resignation-filled sigh. Relentless fuel-price increases have so exhausted consumers that we don't have the energy to be outraged anymore. So we feel helpless as we watch oil sprint past the $130 mark on its way to price-prohibitive territory and wonder whether it's too late to bring back the horse and buggy. Our sense of helplessness is an illusion: There are things we can do. We got ourselves into this mess, mostly through multiple administrations of politically comfortable but shortsighted decision-making. And inasmuch as we're willing to stand a little political discomfort, we can get ourselves out.</description><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 17:47:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>McCain: Clean energy a 'national security issue'</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/13/mccain.environment/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/13/mccain.environment/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Sen.
