I'm not looking for new technology. I probably follow the automotive industry closer then anyone I know. Although, everything I have read about vehicle technology has said that electric car technology just isn't ready. The batteries would be too costly and weigh too much. I've read it many times before, so if the technology does exist, please point me to where I can read about it. I'm not saying you are wrong at all, I just want you to prove me wrong. I would love to know about this technology so I could further my knowledge on how far automotive technology has come.

I do agree with you that we have the technology to generate power without fossil fuels. I live in a state that has the potential to generate massive amounts of wind power. I also agree that the only reason we are slaves to the oil companies is because of all the money the greedy bastards are making. As long as we have people that are money hungry I really don't see us making the progress that is possible. Not unless we put someone in power that realizes these are the right things to do, instead of just the profitable things to do.

There are so many things we could use mismanaged money for that our country could probably be completely dependent by now if we wouldn't have spent billions of dollars on wars that don't even make sense. The only thing the government is doing with their wars is pissing off other countries along with its own people.

Instead of paying for a war on drugs, we could provide the nation with free schooling instead of making people figure out how to pay for college. Most of the people I know have either just not gone to school or dropped out because they could not afford it. Even with federal funding and grants. Yet we are wasting money on a war that puts innocent citizens of our own country behind bars, sometimes leaving their families to fend for themselves and making things worse then before.

I've wandered off-topic, but it really does disgust me where this country has gone. I realize you are not trying to flame me and I hope you realize I'm not trying to flame you. It's just that people like us need to somehow get together to change how things have been running. This is something I believe in to the point that I am very sure that someday I will be one of the front runners in a group of activists that will hopefully change this country for the better.
