I think we need to find alternative fuels but I also think we need to be much more self sufficient and if we can leverage our own resources then we are much better off. Everyone gets pissed off at Bush as if this is all his fault, they are all saying "FUCK BUSH" as they drive around in their 50k Cadillac Escalades paying $2+ per gallon so they can look cool, its their fault they bought the SUV and gas went up. Oil companies are just going off the supply and demand principle. They may be doing it to make money but there are things people can do to reduce oil consumption as well.

I have heard...on the low end...six months...and on the high end five years. The answer undoubtedly lies some where in between and whatever the amount...it would not be available for 10 or more years...so demand will have increased by then and whatever the amount...will supply US needs for a shorter period of time. I do not approve of drilling in Alaska.
