Uhh, Ok, I really didn't understand your reply.

You have to buy power to drive to work. You can buy Arab oil refine it and put it in your tank. In the mean time, your money leaves the country adding to the trade deficit and adds to the terrorist economy. Or on the other hand you can buy good old, home grown American Coal, burned in a power plant and sent to your home via the power lines. The money stays in the country and creates jobs.

Buy what works for you, but I don't understand why so many people are freaked out about technology to decrease oil consumption.

First, we do not get the majority of our imported oil from the MidEast. Check your facts.

Second, you wish to trade free-market oil for government regulated electricity. Not smart.

You can place your transportation in the hands of Pelosi and Kennedy, but I won't.

Or the same crowd that wants me to drive a little beep-beep car can be told to go pack sand and we can drill domestically. The Arabs will have oil they cannot sell and we can buy it if they lower the price enough and we feel friendly that day.

What are the Arabs going to do? Sell sandles made from old car tires? They produce oil and terror, nothing else. Domestic production will turn off the money valve and they will be at our mercy or we can drive three wheel cars made by Makita.

Seems like a simple choice for me.
