Yes moving away from oil dependancy is something that must be done NOW. It should have been done in the late 70's and early 80's but we all know that the all might oil dollar speaks louder than common sense. Now the oil voice doesn't have the same sirens call that it has held for so many years. Higher prices in oil will promote alternative, and soon the standard to oil.

I seriously hope you are right about this.

I eagerly anticipate the day we move to other forms of energy, however long that takes. You can use nuclear energy, and who happens to be one of the largest exporters of Uranium. Australia. You can use solar energy and who happens to have large tracts of desert with the largest period of sunlight in the world. Australia. I even read somewhere of plans to build solar chimneys. 1 mile high structures that funnel hot wind. I don't know the specifics but the PM recently said Australia could become an energy superpower. Of course when oil is no longer used the middle east will rapidly become poor, well poorer, for the majority of it's people. The sheiks and stuff will still have plenty of money left though.

When you get F-18's to run on corn oil, then we won't need 12 CB groups.

If the news report I heard is correct, Hezbollah does have some elected members of government, but nowhere near a majority.
