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
a disruption might cause it, but not now.

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.

If the monied interests who keep us from exploring off the East and
West coast for the potential oil fields which could equal if not
surpass those in the Middle East, we'd be way ahead of the game by
now.

Think Brazil.
