Well, it's pretty hard to cut ties with the oil industry in general... We do use alot of oil in this country. But i do know that Kerry is very much in favor of the exploration and application of sustainable technologies, and of trying to use new technologies to minimize our impact on the environment. This is probably what tilts me toward Kerry the most. I believe it was on Tavis Smiley the other day, Howard Dean talking about the suburban condition and sprawl, along with other conditions which hurt the environment. Dean said that Kerry is extremely strong in this area, and that it is very central to his platform. Reducing our dependence on oil is good in so many ways, I would like to see Kerry discussthis in length.
