More drilling is just going to delay our problems. We will have to use renewable energy for everything sooner or later. Why keep putting off the solution?

Have a good one!:s4:

They have absolute control of it; they lower it when they need brownie points. If I've previously read correctly, nothing will even happen due to lifting that until congress takes action..It'll be back to 3.79 soon enough.

Right now we just dont' have the infrastructure to support an immediate flip over to alternative fuel sources. I am baffled how people are blind to see this. They demand NOW NOW NOW... but what are they going to do when they get their new alternative fuel car with no station to fuel up at.. or only a station like once every 50-60 miles?
Then there is the technology shift.. who are going to support and maintain these cars if the technology were to just change over night?
Then there's the potential dangers to be worked out. Naturally there will be problems with these cars during the first few generations of production. Honestly that's just the way it is. Rarely do things go EXACTLY as you plan. Who wants to drive in a mass produced car they don't feel safe in?
There's the cost to produce the technology. I believe a hydrogen fuel cell currently costs around 1 million dollars just for the fuel cell. If you want to discuss electric cars then we can also discuss the negative impact that would have due to future upcoming events that will effect our electricity supply as well as blackouts which we've had a history of occuring within the united states before.
There are just many logistics to be worked out that it simply isn't possible to do this at the flip of a switch like everyone suggest. And it pains me to hear people being so demanding because all I envision are my fellow Americans that do this as being that kid that we all see in the mall or the store that stomps his feet if he doesn't get that candy bar that he wants. Since when did we become so unreasonable that we became comparable to whining 5 year olds?
We should be critical of our government. Absolutely!!! but we should also be reasonable in our demands.
