But the problem with replacing oil is that the powerful oil companies
aren't going to sit by and watch themselves be put out of business.
And as you mention, Bush is very closely tied to the oil industry.
The only way alternative energy is going to be supported in this
county is if the oil companies get a major piece of the alternative
action. But to do so will take them some time. So we are stuck with
our dependence on oil for the forseeable future.
btw: This is the same problem we face with simplfying the tax laws
or ending the drug interception war. There are just too many vested
interests who are not willing to lose thier income and their secure
positions in our society by allowing any of these inititives to take
place in any meaningful way.
