Scumbria, We just need to annexe some territory. Mexico, brazil, venezuela all have lots of oil. We could do a green card for oil program. Should bring prices down. Also lots of new workers to help unemployment increase. regards, Kash

RE:"Brilliant. We are wasting at least 95% of all oil consumed due purely to bad habits, and you want to start drilling. OK Scumbria, when are you going to sell your SUV and ride a bike?...stop globe trotting and wasting jet fuel? You'll be the first to start screaming when it takes $60 for a fill up... Frankly I'm mad at you because of your bad habits you've help cause the rest of us "less-traveled" individuals make tough decisions...so I have to suffer because you're a fuel hog. <G> RE:"Where do you propose we start this drilling? Off the coast of Santa Barbara? Up along the Alaskan coast? In the permafrost?" All of the above including the Gulf of Mexico. I'm for a pragmatic solution...driil where you can as safe as you can. Promote alternative sources at the same time....hopefully without just throwing tax credits at the problem as was done in the 70's... Lower speed limits back to 55...would be a good start. What's your solution, tax gas up to $4 gallon and give indiscriminate tax credits so a few can benefit while I make up the difference in lost tax revenue? Jim
