There is more oil here and in Alaska then there is in all of the middle east.Its just the tree huggers and the spotted owl loons have made it off limits to drill. Go look at the unemployment rate in North Dakota,its only about 2% because of all the oil work.There economy is so good the "ladies of the night" are fleeing Vegas and going there.

Go listen to Newts plan on energy verses the speech that current guy said a few days ago about converting "pond scum" into energy and tell me who you think has a plan

.. I am all for natural gas and hydrogen in cars as it is a cheap replacement to oil.
Some of the problem us that understand the volt is you have to plug it in and then your energy comes from a so called "dirty" coal plant..They are shutting 2 of these coal plants down in Illinois next year! What do you think that will do to your energy bill??????

Im not sad either,its just not so easy to find the truth if you only hear a little bit of it a day!
Thanks Bill for letting us vent a little on this as the price of gas and the car industry is very important to open wheel racing!!
