...timing may not be perfect. Look at what's happening with the energy policy. Just as gas prices are falling like a stone - 30 cents since mid-May - the White House sends out its energy-plan salesmen.

If that doesn't heat up America's energy debate, blackouts in California and elsewhere this summer should do the job. Democrats in Congress, which must approve many of the panel's ideas, are relishing the opportunity to brand Bush as an environmental rogue. Beyond that, there's the NIMBY problem.
