"He would love to see the U.S. fall."
We won't fall. It might force the Dems and the environmentalist wackos to support drilling in ANWAR. Hey, they'll figure a way to make fuel out of dirt if they have to.
Hydrogen fuel cells are coming. In about 10 years probably 1/3 to 1/2 of gasoline service stations will have fuel cell refueling available.
We won't be on the total oil tit forever. Like you said, we can drill on U.S. property. Plus the fuel cells and we get pretty much weaned off of foreign oil.
