The best interests of the future

Using a little common sense, who has a better interest in the future of America. A younger president who will live a long time alongside his children and beyond the age of mass oil as an energy source in the world.

Or an old man, made much older by war injuries and reoccurring cancer, who will be gone within a few years, and who takes big checks from the oil industries?

Who is really interested in our energy future?

Hotel Housekeeping Can Negate Conservation

Although they mention conserving water and have CFLs in the room at the Residence Inn Convention Center stay, housekeeping ran the dishwasher with the coffee pot, one cup and one spoon in it. That just killed any positive conservation I had going for my stay. During the five night stay, I kept the "No Service" tag on my door all but this one day in the middle. I should have kept it on the door the whole time. I can use the provided towels and re-use bedding like I do at home for a few days.
