Moonbat Energy Policy Drives Farmers Back to Mules

Our energy policy of restricting the drilling of our own oil and making it impossible to build new refineries or nuclear plants — while wasting massive amounts of taxpayer money on useless boondoggles like biofuels and alternative energy — is paying off as intended by environmentalists. From Tennessee:
High gas prices have driven a Warren County farmer and his sons to hitch a tractor rake to a pair of mules to gather hay from their fields. T.R. Raymond bought Dolly and Molly at the Dixon mule sale last year. Son Danny Raymond trained them and also modified the tractor rake so the mules could pull it.
T.R. Raymond says the mules are slower than a petroleum-powered tractor, but there are benefits.
"This fuel's so high, you can't afford it," he said. "We can feed these mules cheaper than we can buy fuel. That's the truth."
According to his, son Robert:
It's the way of the future.
That it is, if moonbattery continues to prevail. Al Gore, who has denounced the internal combustion engine as "a mortal threat … more deadly than that of any military enemy," will be delighted — so long as his own jet travels aren't interrupted.
But the heart bleeds to consider the plight of polar bears, whose ice floes might melt as a result of mule flatulence.
