Are the truckers going to be getting free gas? How will you afford to pay for New Englands heating oil evey year, as it will be too expensive without subsidies...? You think this wouldn't do more damage than good? :wtf:
eletric cars have been around since late 80's early 90's.
solar panels have been around since the 60's
wind power has been around for hundred of years(windmill power)
your right its not overnight. weve had the technology and know how for a long time now. not since yesterday. so why hasnt it been developed?

if we used the oil for heating and cooking instead of driving prices would go down. isnt that how supply and demand work. you have extreme excesses of oil your sitting on you arnt goin to sell it at 150 a barrel you will sell it at 50 a barrel.
and also we produce most of our natural gas to use for heating so why does the cost go up with oil.
