I don't even want to talk about gas prices, ther are going up here too. You know what pisses me off about that, we have the technology to switch to ethanol and I've been told by a few engineers that the conversion is very simple. So, we could be completely and totally self sufficiant when it comes to fuel source. But, that's not the only thing, I know for a fact that we have crude oil taps all over this country that the government is just sitting on. My uncle was doing some kind work with the government and it involved drilling. Well, everytime they hit oil they called this number and a group of government vehicles showed up and they tapped off the oil and numbered it. He said in Louisiana alone there are literally hundreds of these tapped oil resevoirs. He said they are everywhere, but the government doesn't want anyone to know. Now, here's why I think they are doing that. Scientists have predicted that the oil in the Middle east will run out in 20 to 50 years. So, IMO, I think out government is waiting until it does and then WE will be the source of oil for the world. IMO, that's a dumb idea. We need to swith the ethanol and get the rest of the world to jump on board. Crush the income going into the Middle east NOW! That will also hurt the terrorists too. But, who's gonna listen to me.
