This gets theoretical but:
Isn't the advancement of tools one of the primary things archeologists use to determine the development of humankinds progress?

(haha got ya on that evolution thing if you answered).

If so, why are alternatives to petroleum still being attacked and suppressed?
For example if you try and find biodiesel information on Wickpedia.com, you'll find it has been erased and the heading ominously has 9-11 commision/national security references. Ummmm......?? oh nevermind. Not even worth it.
There have been efficiency drive systems for many decades that get close to 100mpg -hydraulic recovery for one- yet "battery technology" and "under research" is still the common excuse. 20mpg? Alternative? Gimme a break!

If it ever becomes a competition and boils down to basic will and manpower-the US will lose. We've already lost the technological edge in buisness. No, let me rephrase that. It's already been given away.
