JAMIE79SC - I don't think you are a turd. I think you're right. Astronomical oil prices are the only incentive that will push us out of the dino economy and into something better. Personally, I don't think taxes or govt programs or even good intentions will do it. But greed and fear are usually pretty effective motivators - not my preferred methods but definitely effective. And while pricey gas will hurt me personally, I think it is as good thing for the country in the long term. I say this confident in the belief that it will be an American who solves the energy problem. And that American will become obscenely wealthy. OTOH, if it isn't an American, then we may well be royally screwed. For example, if the Chinese figure out how to get off of dino oil before we do, then we are sunk.
