I agree ... yet our great president still thinks we should all be driving electric cars and that will solve the problem. But he forgets oil produces a lot of our electricity and if we had a huge ramp up in electric demand, not only could the grid not handle it, but there is not enough capacity. Then there is the waste from electric plants that is considered to be a bigger issue than burning oil.

Bottom line, for every action there is a reaction ... you can't starve one source of energy and support another and think the problem will get solved.

We need to increase our domestic oil production at the same time we are enouraging alternative sources of energy.

Not that I will be here to see ... but I would bet we are still highly dependent on oil in 50 years.
