Why not? After all, the Supreme Court recently ruled that Carbon Dioxide is a "pollutant" that can be regulated, the federal gubment hands out all sorts of money for state and federal roads, and oil is evil!

Sure, it's based on faulty science, a faulty view of federal power, and paternalism during a time of economic trouble, but, really, it's a national "crisis" that needs to be addressed, right?
