The whole running out of oil someday is crap. That is scare tactics. I don't believe anyone as the right to force people how to travel via mass transit. That is a waste. And would cost much more than oil ever would to produce such an assinine idea. I don't want to be on a train, in a subway, or live in the city. I like to drive, have my own land and piece of mind. I don't want to become a robot.
I am all for alternative energy. Hell, if my V-8 will run off of shit or water, fine by me. Then, we will have to figure out how to make the products that use oil to make as well. I believe hemp can do some of that. Then, I guess after that, let's just stop with oil and figure some other way to do things. Yeah, that makes sense, cut off our faces despite our noses.
Alaska alone has enough oil to last us decades. Use the resource, develop alternative energies, and there ya go.
Problem is. We have assholes, BOTH SIDES that don't want to do this. And, even when alternative energy is available, it will be expensive as hell....Because of the Washington criminals. Shitty attitude, I know. But, I don't see shit getting better. The America I once loved is going to be completely extinct by the time my son is a man. ****ing blows. Atleast he won't know the difference.
