let me get this straight, instead of putting 130 billion dollars into research for other means of energy lets use that money to go to war with other contries so we can get a good price on their oil while we refuse to pump most of our own. I however value human life way more than some fossil fuel so don't even think about asking me to fight for you, because I know I can live without oil. It wouldn't be easy, but if it were a choice of fighting for oil or simple living without oil I would choose living without oil. oh and if I was to die because some medical complication that couldn't be resolved because the hospital doesn't have electricity tuff luck thats life.
