>>> There is "something we can do" about the demand side through efficiency and conservation.

And we will, as soon as the price of gasoline gets high enough to make it worthwhile.

Hell, hybrids alone could be sufficient to creat a glut if even 5 or 10 percent of drivers used them. But today, the added cost of a hybrid isn't recovered through gasoline cost savings.

If the price of gas gets where it should be, at $4-5-6, then perhaps people will be motivated to take action. As of today, we're getting the cheapest gas in any developed country I'm aware of.

If gasoline gets to $6/gallon, perhaps I'll not drive as much. As of today, higher gas prices haven't affected my driving one iota. And I would wager your's haven't been affected, either.
