Wrong. The American user of oil is not doing it for rational reasons. It costs far more to use oil than other energy forms, but we obscure those prices through massive subsidies. In addition, our foreign policy for the last 8 years has had one aim and that is the securing of oil supplies. Very much the behavior of an addict. We bend most of our government money and effort towards the oil economy. Sad.
