Personally, I would love to see oil stay high like it is - but not enough to break the economy - and let the economics continue to spur alternatives to enough of an unstoppable degree that even if the competition drives oil back down (not likely with china and india and oil nations themselves increasing demand), we have other choices.
There seems delightfully a bewildering array of alternatives RIGHT NOW! solar, wind, thermal, tidal, safer nuclear, electricf cars, hydrauilic hybrids, better batteries, fuel cells, smart highways, SO MUCH! Why would anyone go back to singular reliance on stinky fossil fuels alone? _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert McElwee Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2008 12:36 AM To: Fred Hubert Cc: miatapower List Subject: Re: NPC: NMC: Drill Here.

If he wants to show that he is a complete moron (in a NMC/NPC thread) I have no problem with it. If someone starts spouting political garbage in my "rear main oil seal" thread then they should be strung up by their testicles.
