Mindmeld, I can almost guarantee that if we had a leader who said we needed a "Manhattan" scale project to get our country off the oil in 10 years, every last man, woman, and child would have been 100% behind it.

Not really. Like I said before, despite the negative image, oil is still one of the cheapest and most efficient sources of energy on this planet.

The problem is that a lot of it is in the hands of those who wouldn't mind NYC going up in a mushroom cloud. Then there's the whole air pollution thing. But the biggest reason is that most of us take oil for granted. Even now with gas approaching $3/gallon, most people are thinking more in terms of shuffling their budget around over conservation.
