Why do you have mixed feelings about it?

Although I believe it will hurt a lot of workers and small businesses,
it should facilitate a more sound energy policy for our nation. It
will also make telecommuting and teleconferencing move into the
mainstream. That should have a positive effect on the environment,
but resourceful marketers and corporations may use the public's
distress as an excuse to build more nuclear and coal fired electrical
generating facilities, instead of moving toward wind and solar.


My feelings about it are not at all mixed.

You probably have to drive a considerable distance to work every day.
