OPEC has not lured us into anything. This is all our doing. We choose to keep sending money to the Middle East bcause it is the cheapest option today. As long as we don't care about the future nothing will change.

OPEC is playing us for fools and we are playing their game.
We had an energy policy started by Nixon then Ford and finally Carter. But Reagan opted for instant gratification when new oil reserves became available which is why we were paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas last summer and will probably be paying 8 dollars in 2 years.

i dont think they should put 10 million on the roads in the next 2 years. it would cost two much. and considering they are already living on billions of borrowed of money... in belfast no one drives hybrids or the like, i dont think its a lack of awareness, just simply people take cost most seriously. im looking for a new car, and all the dealerships best deals are small cars with big petrol engines. like a 2litre volkswagen golf, who needs to do 0 - 60 in 6 seconds in very small hatchback. i think its really up to the car companies to push, and give people good deals

first step to energy independance is to eliminate the ever changing department of energy... every new administration changes course...

Carter started it with HIS ideas.. Reagan immediately dismanteled the basic structure Carter had in place and started a NEW policy in his vision....
how about a vision that is good for AMERICA.. not the oil companies.. not the electric companies... not the coal companies...
AMERICA and the ordinary Joe the Plumbers.... US in other words...
begin a NEW dept of energy that has a head not appointed by the president... make it like NASA...
congress and the president can make suggestions as to what they think might be necessary.. but give the actual workings to some of the best research and development minds..
work on ALL forms of energy.. Solar.. has come a long way since Carter installed panels on the White House and Reagan tore them off..
Solar
Nuclear-- fast track at least 10 Nuke reactors with the French design in the next 10 years put them on old military bases..
Development money for cold fusion...
Wind
Fuel Cells and Hydrogen.. It is after all the most abundant element in the UNIVERSE..
Tax credits for renewable energy for individual houses an developments.. both NEW(especially new) and existing homes.. mandate net billing and make the power companies pay you for any excess you might produce..
the dirty secret is that with an initial investment you would / could almost eliminate the need for outside energy sources.... if the recapture rate were just a little more attractive.. and if the demand were a little higher for the items necessary, the prices would drop drastically..
is it governments job to do that.. ???
no hell no .. lets just keep sending 700 billion or so to people that don't like us very much..
if you think we aren't sending them a lot of money.. Google Dubai and the building projects going on there...they will soon be the head of the financial world.. ALMOST ALL BUILT WITH OUR MONEY..
Kruschev(sp) said we will bury you.. Osama bin Laden wanted to bankrupt us..
seems that our current ways have allowed them both to be profits... -

I would be willing to trade my gas truck straight across for a electric smart car or truck.

One of those Tesla cars that gets two hundred miles a charge.
If people were willing to make the transition to trading in their gas cars to be recycled for electric smart cars.
To help save the enviroment.
Do you think this government and these company's would support such a move or would money and greed of men prevent them from making such a decision.

I think the new administration should support clean energy development by guarantee to purchase clean energy at certain price(such as equivalent to $70.00 a barrel of crude oil)over a twenty years span. This will give a target for new innovation and at the same time stabilized oil price.
