So let me get this straight: you're advocating you dont research any alternative fuels until you absolutely have to when the oil runs out?? Brilliant line of reasoning there.. you dont happen to be an oil investor do you? Sounds exactly like something he/she might say.. as a cover for not wanting anything to interfere with big money/big profits/big gouging. You need to start research into those alternate fuels NOW.. so you have the means to know what to do... and ALSO to reduce the oil consumption to help it last longer and to reduce a chance of harmful environmental damge.. or at least lessen it. Let me give you a heads up.. Ethanol is not expensive or inefficient.. you make it from corn.. you can also make an alternate fuel from soybeans.. Ethanol is starting to make itself known in Canada - particularly Ontario. It also has helped out the farmer s in our area who've long sufffered from low corn prices.. this gives them an additional economic bonus. Wind Power isnt hard to harness... its been done for centuries with a good old fashioned windmill... lets invest into that and into solar power to try and make them more efficient. I think Jimmy Carter summed it up best: "Former President Jimmy Carter, who held office during the late 1970s, offered an opposing view to the Bush administration's depiction of the nation's energy supply in Thursday's Washington Post. "No energy crisis exists now that equates in any way with those we faced in 1973 and 1979," Carter wrote. "World supplies are adequate and reasonably stable, price fluctuations are cyclical, reserves are plentiful, and automobiles aren't waiting in line at service stations. *Exaggerated claims seem designed to promote some long-frustrated ambitions of the oil industry at the expense of environmental quality."* cnn.com This administration is lined up and down with ex-oil people.. this plan was developed in secret, and included no environmental groups as advisors.. this is nothing but a sop to Big Oil and to Big Coal.
