I do not want $6 at the pump, nor do I want to hurt anyone's oil-related business or job.
What I also do not want is to wait 30-50 years after gas is market priced at $12 a gallon to at least get serious about alternative fuels.
What would happen to the supply/demand/price model if there was a 40% drop in demand worldwide because automobiles/trucks/airplanes don't need it? Would'nt all those other petro-based products see a cost drop also?

My point was not political. My point was NOT to stop using oil at all. My point is that it makes sense to me that serious research toward some alternatives to oil are already overdue, and by waiting for market forces to dictate a starting point is silly and shortsighted. This oil stuff has caused us terrible grief in the last 40 years, and sticking our head in the Middle East's sand will not work long term.
