It is well within our capability to simultaneously develop alternative sources of energy while transitioning away from Mideast oil Statements like this one always smell to me of "Central Planning." "Lets have a Government program, (Run by "Wesley Mouch"), to develop a new energy source and a new gas saving motor." We end up with ethanol, a great boondoggle for midwest farmers, and some new east coast train, a great source of income for a Corporation run by "Orren Boyle." We will switch over to a different fuel and transportation system when it is profitable to do so. If Oil prices go up to stay, for any reason, the switch will be made. All the Government can do is slow down and mess up the process. I find this rhetoric from the left to "decrease our reliance upon Mideast oil and channel these needs upon the other resources available to us," is nothing more than more attempts at "Central Planning" to try to get people out of their cars and back on the buses that the left thinks they belong on. Or at least into tiny cars in which they can crouch and be "happy" to make the "Sacrifice" to "Save the Planet."
