The way you said this..I agree 100%...But we must also continue to sustain our needs for OIL by home Drilling too...The alternative fuels will come on line eventually ..but it's not yet time, or time to give up on our own oil reserves and harvesting those profits here at home while waiting on industry to gear completely up and deliver some real useful alternative fuels., instead of paying OPEC.Some good news.
Iowa just set a record on renewable fuel sales in the 2nd quarter. Nearly 3.7 million gallons.

That's a state record of clean, renewable E85 Ethanol fuel --- a liquid that DIDN"T come from petroleum, and DIDN'T come from a middle-eastern country, financed with money borrowed from China. Nope, that was MADE IN THE USA fuel that helps put money in the pockets of Midwest farmers instead of middle-east shieks.
Hey- Hurricanes can come and knock out the drilling platforms and mess with refineries.
Civil unrest can make the price of oil spike in Africa and the Middle East.
Russians can sign deals with corporations to steal all the Gulf of Mexico oil, for all I know.
But we HAVE to work on finding financially viable, renewable alternatives whereever we can. Every little bit helps.
Congrats Iowa motorists on the record. Keep it up. Keep growing our alternatives.
BTW:..Whatever happened to this idea..seemed doable.
