Peak Oil: China vs. USA

What an excellent discussion.

I also wonder why executives are not getting on the bandwagon for natural gas trucks and busses. Natural gas is an excellent interim reduction on our importation of foreign oil, buying us time to develop and implement cleaner alternatives. If we can't get enough natural gas from the US then at least we can import it from Canada...much better than from the middle-east!

I'm going to read HR 1835, and write to my congressmen. It's so easy to do these days using the internet.
