My Thoughts on Oil

Very interesting article and comments. Thanks.

To me it's all very sad that our elected officials are still acting in the best interests of special interests and not for the country as a whole. Obama promised change. Each and every day that is turning into an empty promise. Not that I think McCain would have been one ounce better. Both parties really have much more in common than they would lead on - self preservation and special interests drive all their decision making.

How much longer can this go on? When will a legitmate alternative to the Blues and Reds come along that will actaully receive public support. It's all very disheartening.

Fuel Systems Solutions, Toyota and the Phill

One problem.... Obama just came out last week in support of Bio-fuel production as a means to lower dependancy on foreign oil...

I think trading food for fuel is foolish, and hope the farmers and their strong lobby does not succeed.

I would love to see TM make the Camry also, but if NG is not suported by Washington, I doubt it ever gets made.

Why "Drill, Baby, Drill!" Does Not Translate Into Effective National Energy Policy

What about the environmental (and possible economic)impact of consuming more oil? I'm not even talking about the impact from drilling. It seems the environment takes a back seat again.
