Changing the direction of oil prices in the futures market is the key. US is a big user. Even if china and india dont go convservation or alternative, the US doing those two things would certainly change the direction of oil prices. And then other could follow too for a variety of reasons forcing the arabs to drop the price of oil even further just to compete. Knock the price down to $40 and you will the air come out of iran's hizbolla funding balloon and saudis al quaeda balloon as well. Poverty in the region based on falling oil will ultimately be a good thing for the Mideast as folks look toward technology and education to be the backbone of future success. But if they dont get modern and go further retro, they will run out of weapons and run out of gas.

I do think that having Bush come out with a concerted plan to advance PRACTICAL alternative fuel programs that are market compatible might make a difference in seeing the price of oil decline in the face of this political risk. There is a practical alternative, easy to build, easy to use and it is greenhouse gas neutral and easy to use. The company is called Dynamotive..... dynamotive.com It is selling to lots of countries except the US and Canada.... seems odd that.
