Let's give up the ghost. We are never going to reduce our dependence on oil until we start driving less and that is not going to start to happen until gas prices really go through the roof like $6-7. Then it will only start. Not everybody will reduce their driving. Then if prices do go down, they will only go down to a certain level which will be much higher than we are paying right now. We're not going to drill domestically until that happens and then we will have to reconcile ourselves to the fact that any domestic drilling will only bear fruit a decade from when it starts. We are in love with the internal combustion machine. All this alternative fuel stuff is crap. If it were not we would be using it now. We are stuck!
