The problem is that 
we will do absoultely nothing until the last drop of gas
is burned in a 
combustion engine and everything grinds to a halt.  
Only
then will a US 
President get the bright idea of starting an alternative

  This thread has reached the absurd limit 
  of imagination.
   
  I'm in the oil business and have been 
  since 1955.
   
  Many years ago (remember the oil crisis 
  and the lines at
  the service stations) our concept of what 
  was needed for
  transportation changed and to my mind for 
  the better.
   
  Today, we are using vehicle on the 
  highways and streets 
  to transport ourselves and our kids that 
  can in no way
  be considered reasonable.
   
  Fuel cells WILL some day become the 
  energy source for our
  transportation but it will not be in our 
  current menagerie
  of SUV's and Kickup trucks.
   
  Regardless of what we do to encourage the 
  exploration of
  energy sources in this country WE CANNOT 
  FROM THOSE SOURCES
  USING OUR PRESENT FORM OF TRANSPORTATION 
  COME ANYWHERE CLOSE
  TO MEETING THE STUPID NEEDS OF WHAT OUR 
  AFFLUENT CITIZENS
  FEEL IS NECESSARY FOR SIMPLE 
  TRANSPORTATION.
   
  FACT:  Until someone comes up with a 
  cheaper source of
  energy than oil we will be stuck with 
  doing whatever is
  necessary to maintain our need for 
  such.
   
  Granted I am nearly as big an offender as 
  the rest of us.
  My wife drives a 1990 Buick with a 3.8 
  liter engine that 
  gets <FONT face="Courier New" 
  size=2>about 18 mpg in the city and I'm more stupid in that 
  I <FONT face="Courier New" 
  size=2>drive a 1995 Cadillac STS with an engine that is big 
  enough to propel a locomotive and 
  only gets 9.8 mpg in 
  the <FONT face="Courier New" 
  size=2>city (almost 30 on trips but how often do I do that).
   
  Energy for transportation goes far in 
  that our 
  infrastructure for the supply of this is 
  oil based and 
  to change that if difficult and will 
  require time.
   
  If we simply cut the size of vehicles 
  (non commercial) to
  the point where they supplied needed 
  transport and not
  the weaponry for highway warfare they do 
  now we could 
  ALMOST rid ourselves of outside 
  dependency.
