I will never understand the time issue argument. Ya, it will take years. However tomorrow it will be years plus 1 day. Get government out of the way and lets produce some of our own energy.

BTW- electric cars do use fossil fuels.

Unless they get their electricity from Nuculear fuels, Or Solar fuels, Or Wind fuels, Or Hydroelectric fuels, Or Wave-action fuels, etc.

Fossile fuels are the easiest and most profitable for the existing energy companies to exploit, but there are plenty of other sources of electricity that have a very negligable effect on fossile fuels. At $4.00+ a gallon for gas, it may finally spur development of these resources.

The point I was trying to make on drilling is that the oil companies have hundreds of thousands of acres they have leased where they are not making any effort to place test drills. If they really wanted to exploit domestic oil, they would be drilling in these locations right now. But if higher crude oil prices create higher gasoline and diesel profit margins for the oil companies, why would they want to find a source of cheaper crude oil? Make no mistake, these are multi-national energy companies, not individuals that have any overwhelming concern for U.S (or Canadian) consumers.

Whew, I'm glad to get that off my chest... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
