It may be true but something needs to be done about it. I honestly doubt that in the 100+ years of using oil as a primary fuel source that someone out there hasnt developed more energy efficient technologies that would greatly improve not only the environment but be fairly priced. I suppose a declining dollar does play a role in this situation but my ultimate utopian dream would to live in an america that was loosed from its dependence on foreign oil (i imagine everyone else would like the same too). It may be about equal to fretting over the fact thay your underwear and tv and toaster are not made by good ole fashion American Union labor.
I was raised by union thugs so I've heard a lot of complaints along that line. Now they just seem silly. They are just Union rhetoric and it is sad that people eat it up.

If $2.19 or whatever is truely the price of oil and being that there is not really any new technologies out there that is fine with me. But if there were something more that our country could utilize to make our situation a little less expensive wouldnt it be worth it, American made or not? I dont look at it from the labor union point of view, I just think that there are a lot of opportunities out there that are not being used to thier best.
