Barton talks about new energy bill, conservation not included

What should I expect from a Congressman from Texas, but what kind of half-assed energy policy is this when it only involves pumping more oil and gas? Why is conservation not part of any broad program? Drilling in Alaska will not solve the problem and using technology to extract more fuel will not resolve the long term problem either. Conservation and a migration to alternative energies should be critical pieces of any program that is discussed.
