Green fantasies survive on the sucker born every minute principle. It's a religion among the do-gooder crowd. And there is no doubt that do-gooders are as scientifically ignorant as they are horrifically dangerous.

Gore is a fraud, he'll never debate.

Although electric cars are in greater use today, it's because the government is subsidizing it (with out tax money). The owner of Chevy, I believe, said he was losing money by selling the Volt at the price it sells it at, but the government makes up the difference. It's not a surge of electric cars, it's forced green technology.

The US subsidies for conventional energy (oil, gas & coal) are among the highest in the OECD. The US protection of property rights is among the lowest in the OECD.

There is also the simple truth that matters of national security can not simply be reduced to the price per kWh or gallon of gas.

The US is a nation of slaves indoctrinated to be unable to declare individual & local energy independence. Just follow the corporate & political leaders like lemmings and don't give a shit about liberty.

Well, they could start by removing every single subsidy for everything. For all oil and coal companies.

But dont giver any subsidiez for any other energy source.

Jim Henson hit the nail on the head way back when.

@Romeowasbleeding1 People also have the tendency to eat each other when they are really hungry (see 'the starving time' in the colony of Jamestown). These high oil prices effect more than the cost of driving. It effects the price of everything. Plastic, Food, Electronics, Everything. If you were to draw a trend line of population growth and a trend line of oil consumption, you will see them almost matching. What do you think will happen when it declines? It is something to worry about.

@Romeowasbleeding1 Oil is nearly at $5 a gallon now. The minimum wage is 7.50 I believe. What will it take to curb the market in the direction of an alternative. Oil resources HAVE RUN LOW. We are proceeding into the era where oil is scarce. With the current infrastructure, it will take drastic changes NOW to curb the ensuing crisis.

Don't worry about it? Humans do truly amazing things given the space and freedom they need Guess what? We are constantly losing space and freedom.
