How about we:
get the American people off the oil habit,
I think high prices will at least reduce consumption. �In fact it
already has.
get public transportation working,
Bwahahahahahaha! �Not ALL of us are dumb enough to live in the high
population density coastal regions of the US. �Most public
transportation is a political boondoggle.
get the millionaire oil executives out of our pockets,
Grow up and study what ROI means. �Personally I think whatever
business that you are in should be limited to 2% profit... I want all
the rest ;-) �Get the picture yet?
get the car companies to fulfill the promise of economical cars,
That's happening. �Notice how the Toyota Prius and like-type vehicle
sales are booming... and truck and SUV plants are closing?
get the air breathable again,
You know not of what you speak. �Air quality is _dramatically_ better
than it was in the '50's.
get water drinkable again.
It is. �Want to talk to my daughter, the water chemist who runs the
labs maintaining the City of Phoenix water quality? �She can tell you
some things about bottled water that will make your hair curl.
but they'll just do it your way.
We need to drill so we're not dependent on enemies for our
necessities. �Plus you probably have no clue how much you depend on
oil for things other than transportation and power.

Hey Jim,
I've been watching all this debate on whether or not we can "drill our
way" out of this problem, and I keep coming back to the same thing:
We should build those solar-thermal plants and convert (eventually)
our automobiles to run on electricity. Or even electric-hybrids.
This would (should?) put a serious dent in our dependence on foreign
oil (for transportation).
It would also create a lot of new jobs - (utility construction,
underground gas/diesel storage tank remediation, battery manufacture,
auto manufacture, recycling, electric grid upgrade, electric
"refueling" station construction, and a host of other industries I'm
sure I skipped..)
IMO, we need to make this a "TVA-type" effort. Even if it took 1% -
3% of our GDP (or more), if it got us off the tit of foreign oil, I'd
do it. Oh, and it would be an instant boom to the Arizona Desert
property values.
Whadda-ya think?

p.s. - Does anyone know Obama's email address so I can send this idea
to him?
(Since he's going to be the next President...?)
