Bushs idea of an alternative fuel source to replace oil is Ethanol. Still requires oil to produce and oil to blend into it. All that money and investment and rules requiring so much ethanol production by a certain date for what? Its not better for the environment, you get less MPG with the stuff, it consumes alot of oil and water to produce, its causing food shortages and higher food prices.
I call them X-boxes.
We have one at work for paper work runs and every time I drive that thing I feel like I'm playing a video game.
The windshield is way forward and vertical that it looks like a big screen TV.
Cool car for the city traffic with a bunch of room inside.
ok, i can agree with that theory as long as theres measures in place to correct the problem. If you pull that band aid off and you start bleeding again, you put another one on. You drive gas prices up, then what? What do we have in the meantime while the years go by that they create and develop safe alternatives?
Whats being done honestly? Not a whole lot besides talking.

Agreed.
Remember when we put a man on the moon and wwere given a year to do so?
True,
but We have 8 more months of Bush before anyone can even start working on alternatives and funding them. Any bill that comes across his desk that actually has any balls will get vetoed or sit there.
Remember, "excess profits breed ruinous competition" translation... if a business is gouging, someone else will do it better/cheaper, in a free market.
