yes

actually, not so sure the GOP would like my energy solutions:
1) raise mileage standards to 40MPG by 2017
2) Build 50 new nuclear power plants by 2020
3) 80% of new cars to run on nat gas and/or electricity by 2020, 100% by 2030...50% of new 18 wheelers to run on nat gas by 2017, all new 18 wheelers to run on nat gas by 2020
4) build nat gas fueling infrastructure
5) drill like crazy

that is NOT cap and trade, but it ain't exactly market based either...but it would drastically cut foreign oil imports
