re: Bottom line. We can get started now. It would take some investment, but compared to the Iraq War, it would be peanuts. And the investment would pay dividends in lower gas prices and more disposable income. It would, essentially, be a tax cut on the entire economy... not only personal costs, but the movement of all goods. I'm not sold on hydrogen as a short term solution... aren't we a way off from affordable applications? But plug in hybrids could get us there rather quickly.

Yes, and hydrogen fuel cells are only one of many ways we could be oil independent in 15 years or so. Bio-ethanol, flex-fuel vehicles, plug-in hybrids. It's all there and already tested. Like you said, we just need politicians that have the brains that the rest of us do in order to put 2+2 together to get 4. Then maybe we can make some progress. I'll tell you this much. I want that outcome so badly, I will vote straight Democrat for Congress and I will vote for a Democrat for President in 2008, unless a credible Republican comes out with a REAL agenda for oil independence...someone with credibility that I can get behind.
