And the Saudi's are the largest financial backer of wahibism and the home of Osama Bin Ladin.
Why exactly are you against using our own oil responsibly?
I'm not against using our own oil. I just don't think it's THE solution. Actually, I don't think there is a single solution. I think there's a whole bunch of smaller pieces that make up the answer.
The problem -- which is oddly similar to much in the U.S. today -- is that if you are for using our own oil, then you're against hybrids. If you're for hybrids, then you're against using our own oil. Every component of a complex problem, such as oil, carries with it all these other assumed beliefs that put you on one side of the issue or the other.
I believe, as much as I believe in anything, that complex problems are rarely solved by simple solutions.
