Harry,

if I have to choose between my beloved SUV and Colorado, I am not so sure Colorado would win..

What is the point of having an SUV, without Colorado to drive it in?

Frankly, I fully expect that with the ability to drill 12000 feet under water, we will find several Saudi Arabia sized fields in the oceans.

What is this based on?

It is ridiculous how we squander oil now. I lived in England 30 years ago, when very few people drove cars to work. The public transportation system was robust, and fully met the needs of most commuters. Now England is a land of traffic jams, lousy public transportation, and high priced, unavailable fuel.

We are squandering this precious resource to support a low quality lifestyle. Commuters on Lawrence Expressway in Sunnyvale waste 30 minutes every because they hit every single traffic light red.

Oil should be conserved for legitimate needs. Air travel, vacations, chemicals and plastics, trucking and farming, etc. The way we waste oil driving back and forth to work is insanity.
