Al Gore stated two years ago that "we should artificially raise the price of gasoline to $5 per Gal". He and his cronies have almost reached their goal.

Make no mistake, the current price at the pump IS artificially high, and it's NOT because of price gouging by the oil companies. It is due to idiotic energy policies that forbid drilling for our own oil, and the refusal to build new refineries over the last twenty years due to pressure from ill-advised environmental knee-jerkers that merely HEAR the word oil and immediately protest against anything connected to the industry. They taqlk about using "alternative sources", yet when those sources are even tried to be used; their heroes in the Senate block their inception, as when Sen. Ted "Swimmer" Kennedy blocked wind power generators in the Chesapeak Bay last year because he said it would spoil the view from the Compound, or the Sierra Club protested/prevented the same technology being used in eastern California three years ago because they feared for the birds in the area.

What DO they encourage? They say it's a good idea to convert a third of our corn supply into ethanol; regardless of the fact that it will HAS caused steep rises in the general cost of food. They say WE must "conserve, recycle and reuse", even though the High Priest of their movement, the mighty Al Gore, uses TWENTY times the average of power for just ONE of the homes he resides in. WE must pay a 30% premium and use underpowered eco-box vehicles, while Mr. Gore continues to use his Chevy Blazer (after all HE is important and has to carry all that eco-propaganda to his eco-revivals 'scientific' expositions to the saved morons of the Church of Carbon Offsets.

We do need to wean ourselves off oil as much as we can reasonably do as soon as we can, but we shouldn't make our economy tank in the process.

We have enough oil reserves for our needs for the next two hundred years, on our own land; we need to start using those assets to relieve our foreign dependence on the Arab mullahs of the Middle East as we also bring new technologies online to replace the use of that resource.

We need to bring new Nuclear, hydroelectric, and wind power power plants online as soon as possible to help reduce that dependence on oil.

We need to build/create the new energy technologies probably not even thought of yet to replace oil for general energy needs. Hydrogen, Fusion, and(better than current) Solar technologies are all posibilities that just need time to be made usable. Lets buy that time we need without taking our economy down the drain, use the resources we have here.
