If we could get off foreign oil to the point that we wouldn't have to invade other countries and spend trillions on 'guarding' access to that oil, perhaps that might be a better deal in the long run, ya think??? Don't get me wrong; I want us off foreign oil ASAP. I'm as adamant as you or anyone else about that. It is a question of going about it in a cost-effective way. As an example, I'm fully supportive of some government incentive for the installation of charging stations for plug-in electrics. This, more than anything else, will encourage purchasers. Yet, we're spending 20x as much on these credits as we are on facilities. And what is being done to move people to CNG? This is the fastest way off of oil, and it is as though it doesn't exist.
