Re: OT - Supply side solution for oil energy bound to fail.

There is a big difference between living on the North American continent,
and living in Europe. If you don't understand the difference, you really
shouldn't comment on our transportation habits. It is not unusual for
people
here to commute over two hundred miles a day, or to live places where you
have to drive nearly a hundred miles to get to a decent shopping center.

One word bub, PLANNING. The truth is, the USA is a wasteful nation, your
country's facilities and amenities are all spread out forcing you to drive
long distances like you've pointed out, in inefficient cars that consume far
too much gas per mile, why is this? because it serves the vested interests
of a clique of industrialists in the petro-chemicals and automobile
industries, your president has taken to talking about Ethanol recently as an
alternative fuel, but he doesn't really mean a word of it, as he and his ilk
are the crux of why the USA is a wasteful nation, there's an explanation for
everything in America and it's always the Dollar. You think oil is
expensive? it ain't, it just isn't as cheap as it was, plus if you're
thinking Bush & Co are at all upset about oil prices guess again, it's your
oil companies that are gaining the most from price rises not producer
nations like Saudi etc.. every 50 dollars worth of light sweet crude can be
refined to produce 150 dollars worth of gasoline, you think Bush is gonna
*** with those insane profits while holding stock in Exxon Mobil etc..
think again bub.

My father told me in 1950 that we had enough oil in the ground that he
knew
about to
last us another 100 years.......He was about right....We may very well
run
out of it around 2050.......

The American people above all others today, are making the largest
contribution to making your old man's prophecy a reality.
Driving smaller more efficient cars doesn't mean you're less of a man or
you
have small penises. Try it and see, while you're at it try walking and
cycling too, help yourselves with the national obesity problem, hell go
the
whole hog, fire some Mexicans , clean your own houses and mow your own
lawns, squeeze your own OJ, help keep America- English speaking ,
whatever
that matters !

If
you ever visit here, try driving from Carson City, Nevada to Salt lake
City
Utah, on Highway 50, and tell me that we should be all riding around on
bicycles or Vespa scooters.......If you do make that drive, incidentally,
I
doubt if you will pass by the living spaces of more than 20 people......
