JF, > No "real breakthroughs" needed. It's like going from the 486 to the Pentium Suffice to say that there isn't a Moore's Law for the internal combustion engine. Kind of like the old joke that if cars advanced as quickly as computers, they would all be running 400 MPH at 100 MPG (and crashing once a week, suffering from "spyware," running on "incompatible" roadways, etc.) But like I told Mindmeld, I wouldn't mind treating energy independence as an urgent matter of national security. The bipartisan solution would be to both drill for our own oil, including ANWR, fund tons of research into alternative energy, pursue clean coal technologies, and promote more efficient technologies such as compact fluorescents and hybrid electric cars. The "space race" of the 21st century. Tenchusatsu
