Ted, > This country has had at least 30 years of misinfo fed to the American public about our dependency on oil.

No Ted, you have it backwards. For the past several decades, Americans have been told just how evil oil is. Over and over again.

I remember watching a film in elementary school about how much more oil was left in the world. The film claimed 50 years. Said film also talked about nothing but the problems with oil, including its environmental impact.

This was back when cars got like 10-15 MPG on the highway. On leaded gasoline. These days, cars get double the gas mileage and pollute less than before, yet we're still beating ourselves up over self-guilt.

How about we use the oil we have today so that we can get to the altnernative energy sources of tomorrow? Sound like an idea?
