[mexcurmudgeon]

Between OPEC's attack on the dollar by A) slowing oil production to drive up prices, and B) trying to push the purchasing price of a barrel of oil from dollars to euros, and the Federal Reserve printing money like it's a picture of Britney Spears' cooter, is it any wonder our purchasing power is diminishing to record lows? The Fed and Bush's buddies in OPEC are killing our economy. I wonder what B.S. fascism they'll use to 'save' us?

Heh, Oil isn't sold in a "free market" with a balanced playing field that encourages competition.

It's effectively a subsidized cartel.

That said, it is kind of a silly concept.

We don't need to spend billions on changing all of our infrastructure.

What we really need is to be driving our cars on electricity.
