Drivers Are Feeling the Pinch

Anaconda:

Why are you so focused on increased production of oil instead of using that money to increase research and development of renewable technologies such as wind and solar power? Every dollar spent on discovering and producing oil depletes the amount of oil we have left to use, whereas that same dollar being invested into renewables will bring us closer to true "energy independence".

Drilling for more oil in places like ANWR and off the coast of Florida may help keep you and your generation happy, but future generations will be feeling the pain of our shortsightedness.

High oil prices are the best thing that could happen to us, because it will force us to change our habits and get us to really concentrate on developing cheap renewable energy!
