Oh please. There is no current technology at that moment that will replace oil. My Audi can't run on dilithium crystals. For the next 20 to 30 years, oil will be king. OIL is NOT a dirty word. Alternatives are in an infancy stage with none looking more than "promising".

WHY do you believe oil is terrible? You decry "enviroweenies" then parrot their drek. There may be new technology down the pike but we aren't there yet. Not even close.

I never said there was. That's why I refer to them as "emerging technologies".

Oh, please!!! Pretend you're not stupid for a moment and you actually understood what I wrote. I NEVER said that oil was a dirty word, anymore than Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity, or Neal Boortz. What I said was that this latest oil price increase has been a huge wakeup call for us and that we need to look for renewal energy alternatives in the long-term that will wean us off oil. In the near term, we need oil to fuel the economy we have that is BASED on oil while we develop, refine and explore new, clean burning energy alternatives. Unless you're a moron and want your childtren or your children's children to be held hostage by the same set of desert dwelling ragheads and despots who are holding US hostage today, we need some breathing room and incentives to look for other energy sources.

The whole dilithium crystal thing was a joke!! If you are so "wrapped around the axle" trying to catch trolls on this site that you don't recognize sarcasm when you read it, perhaps you need to relax with a stiff drink and loosen up before you log on to FR.
