Ethanol- Uses almost as much energy as it produces. Arctic Drilling- So minimal as it doesn't even have an effect at the margin. deep sea drilling- Umm, we're doing that. nuclear power- Bingo, one of the solutions. fuel cells- Years from an economic solution. We need more and more efficient hybrids evolving to plug in hybrids evolving to all electric vehicles. build more refineries- This will make the system more efficient and reduce prices a little but doesn't address the fundamental problem. And as we become more fuel efficient they will sit empty. Solar, wind, geothermal, new conservation technologies will all play a part. But we need to move the transportation sector forward with aggressive mandates and incentives. In the meantime we are transferring $Billions each day in US wealth to Middle East countries and other players like Venezuela and Russia. Our dollar is getting trampled and a new US inflation cycle is taking hold while we are in a recession. Hugh, what about your promise to put me on ignore. I'm disappointed!
