Getting off oil would save us trillions. Plus all the pollution. And the destruction of our wildlands. They have oil rigs off Santqa Barbara and those things have been leaking oil for decades, I took a walk on the beach last week and the bottoms of my feet were black with oil afterward. Disgusting.

It will take decades to achieve this, but we must. This starts with standing up to the oil lobby and windfall profiut taxing them to force them to invest in clean energy. Like making tobacco companies pay for lung cancer. But it is a win-win-win deal for the US and the planet. We really have no choice. It's either start doing it now or wait until the problem is much more dire. We also need to build a huge clean energy industry so we're not dependent on foreign technology like with the Toyota hybrids which have put GM and Ford on the ropes.

Perfect example there how GM, Ford and Chrysler defeated the CAFE standards bill and continued making gas guzzlers, and now they're all in big trouble. Toyota and Honda are kings because they build more efficient cleaner cars. As a country, if we remain gas guzzlers, we lose in all sorts of ways.
