We'll, I went a little overboard I guess. I blame environmentalists (tree-huggers). We should have nuclear power, which would reduce our need for oil, except for automobiles.

We should have nuclear power in every state, and it's the environmentalists who lobby against that - it just so happens than they are all also democrats.

-sigh- You (and every other ill-informed consumer) simple don't know what you're talking about. At least you admit that nuclear will do nothing to assuage the oil problem. Nothing but reduced consumption is the answer. And, even then, we will be re-inventing energy sources forever because their efficiency losses will always be exploitable for another joule of energy.

See my previous post for the numbers.

Ok fine sure. This whole site is a bunch of libs or people who don't want to call themselves libs but who really are.

Here's what I know. We use oil. We, USA, don't have a lot of our own oil so we import it. If we do have a lot of oil, then we are importing it because we can't refine it. Oil=bad.

My suggestion is to attack more countries and take their oil for now.
