Sen Gravel, candidate for Pres, was in Alaska campaigning where he said that the USA could be free of oil in five years if hydrogen, etc., tech were adopted.

P.S. - I wonder how THAT crowd reacted? "Hey, folks, I can get rid of your payment checks from the pipeline in five years..."

I think Gravel was talking about hydrogen fuel for cars. That, we know is pie in the sky. Although Gravel was Senator from Alaska, he left Alaska nearly 30 years ago and is viewed as an impractical person. He at his age should try staying home, which is somewhere in Maryland.
