i think if america (and the govt. knows this.. and this is what they are trying to keep from happening) found something cheaper then petrol/oil/gas/whateverthefuck it is, that was readily available, it would send those poor rich whitehouse bastards ~cough bush cough~ off into bankruptcy.... tell me if america (and most of the world for that matter) switched their dependancy from petrol to water, that it wouldn't... it would probably fuck up the stock markets pretty bad too, or it could have the exact opposite effect i suppose (i dunno how, i don't know anything about stocks just for every action there's an opposite but equal reaction) and make the worlds economy skyrocket... i don't think america wants humanity to lose it's dependancy on petrol (aren't they also called fossil fuels? i'm not too knowledgeable and actually remembering shit that well i'm high.... lol)
