But there are no shortages. This is concocted entirely by big oil in
concert with the guv'ment and speculators. This administration has
presided over a nearly 400% rise in energy prices, double digit
increases in food prices et al.
I am no longer in favor of drilling but favor a changeover to new
technology. It is time to bury the internal combustion engine. It is
only a matter of time where electric vehicles will be the norm and
hopefully most power will not be generated by fossil fuels.
Of course, I really don't care a whole lot as my little gas sippin'
Honda just passes by gas stations one after another...
