The only solution is to use wind, solar and electric cars. Oil controls the price of everything.

Even if we do need oil, the American people never asked for the government to steal it from other countries.

I sure wouldn't mind paying a little bit more on the pump if it meant the government could focus on AMERICA instead of other countries!

But Frank, people think they need oil. In reality, they need the air to live that they damage by burning oil with it.-----

Think it might be a false need? Is heroin to an addict a false need Frank? Is vodka a false need to the alcoholic?

You're right Frank, 100% To celebrate, I'm posting a link to a 10 minute video which shows where our dependence on oil is going, and a clue or lead to the solutions.

Fischer–Tropsch process. But you need to throw a hydrogen source in there too. That's the hard part in the equation.

Most people don't appreciate the many inherent attributes of liquid fuels.

The fact is that battery technology is always evolving and that electric cars are more cost effective. And also if people want prices of everything to go down electric vehicles will reduce the price of everything being shipped. Heres something to think about, since the price of gas went up eggs in Haiti went from $0.10 (US Dollar) an egg to $0.50 and most of them dont even make $0.50 a day! Oil is the worse form of energy.

Whatever you say doesnt change the fact that oil controls the price of everything, it controls what you pay at the pump and everything that is being shipped. With electric cars we dont have to worry if oil production has stopped due to a natural disaster. Oil is an old antique technology, time to put it to rest.
