'Get off' oil is just your straw man. It is? MY straw man? Gee, I did a search of this thread for "get off oil" and found most of the posts were buy another poster: If you believe that neither you nor the country will ever get off oil, you should be arguing with someone besides me. Hint: However, all the means to wean ourselves OFF of oil exist at cost competitive rates, when all externalities are accounted for. Message 25477463; I'll tell you why the urgency. We've been saying we need to get OFF the oil for three decades and yet we never did a damn thing to take it seriously. The moment is now to take it seriously. The technology has finally arrived to make it possible and we have a frenzy of global climate change activists that are providing plenty of momentum to make it happen. Message 25473331; Again, the best thing for this country is to get OFF the oil asap. Message 25466528; The sooner we get OFF of oil, the sooner we can live in a world where our foreign policy and economy aren't held hostage to our oil suppliers whims. Message 25465906;
