I don't see a real need to make converts of the ecos based on bad economic principles. And I don't see a need to cut back. If individuals like you want to, or course, go ahead.
I believe, actually that the US oil industry should compete in a more muscular fashion with the Mid-East oil. The eco people have held us back for too long, causing a lot of the problems.
I agree our own oil industry should be more aggressive. Had W been able to get backing in 2000 for Alaska drilling, things would be different now, I suspect.
