It doesn't matter...we're headed for $4.00 a gallon gasoline.

I ihghly doubt that we will see that in the next 5 to 10 years. *Maybe

On a completely different note:

Are you denying that Dicque Cheney held "secret" national energy policy
meetings
with big oil that to this day are a closely held secret of the
administration? What do you think they discussed? How to help the
American consumer, or how to fleece the consumer and increase corporate
profits

I don't know what was discussed - I wasn't there.

And neither were you.

I would assume that price was discussed - it would seem to me to be a
natural point to start the discussion.

However I would point out to you that none other than your own St.
Gore proposed a doubling of gasoline prices (by a combination of
wholesale price rise and taxattion) as a way to keep the use of
gasoline limited thus reducing emissions - I think he called it an
environmental and economic win-win.

If the money raised were properly spent on the development of alternative
fuels and on forced higher performance of vehicles, we'd be way ahead of
the game by now and beginning to lose our dependence upon Muslim oil.

Why does the government have to pay for the research and development?- Hide quoted text -

Jim, in a utopious, socialistic, society, isn't the government
supposed to pay for everything???
