Yes, I'm very excited about it. I agree with you that the best cure for high oil prices are high oil prices. However, I'm not really interested in just getting through this cycle, with the certain knowledge that we'll have another up cycle where oil spikes yet again, sometime in the future. Rather, I'd like to see a permanent solution and for that this country needs government leadership and incentives to make it happen fast. The market forces will eventually get us there, but sometimes structural government investment is necessary to develop a market when industry is not willing to do it. For example, do you think the big oil companies really want the U.S. to get off the oil tit? Do you think that maybe Bush is in bed with these big oil companies and owes his current President-elect status to them? Think about that and think about why Bush isn't doing much to help us move away from oil.
