I'm not sure we can make a dent in demand anymore. I might be wrong, but I think the demand for oil in China (if that is a true assertion) will outstrip any decreased demand in the U.S. My take is that we need a fuel source that we can make in the U.S. from U.S. resources owned by U.S. companies. |

. com... I'm not sure we can make a dent in demand anymore.

I find that attitude disturbing. In effect, you're saying that Americans can't be counted on to do much of anything except bitch & whine. What's interesting, though, is that nobody's asked us to do anything different. Politicians are afraid to mess with The Religion. |
