Agree with the focused goals. Its nice to hit outer space but frankly I would also love to see more research on energy savings, cars using alternative fuels and such.
Faster we get away from this damm foreign oil, the better. If we do not buy billions of barrels of it a day, then the price might just go down and it for sure would last longer for everyone. joeA

The irony is that 4/5th of US oil comes from Canada, Mexico, venezuela, the US itself, and only 1/5th comes from the middle east... Yet whatever happens there affects the market out of proportion ! |
