I fully agree with the both of you.

As for the energy crisis, give me a break!! So we should increase drilling, and that would be the answer? Are all politicians retarded? What little extra oil we may get will hardly make a dent in the supply, and prices will remain the same.

This is it, folks. Stop thinking about oil. It is so short sighted. I just want to scream. We all need to cut back and conserve so that what we have left will be enough to get us through the development period of alternative energy sources.

For Christ's sake, World War Two gave us the Jet, the Microwave oven, canned beer!! Yet am I to believe that in today's society there is a dearth of ingenuity? We need to forget about pitiful amounts of oil, and focus on breaking the addiction!

Sorry, but I am on a roll today.

You are on a roll.

Energy conservation is the only answer... tax "vacations" oil company taxes, increasing pumping - none of those things will even dent the price of oil - it will just push up the price and consumption further. Supply and demand, it's that simple. Push down the demand, allow supply to float and prices will come down. Energy conservation and improved efficiency are the only way to go.
