If oil shoots up more to than $100/barrel, how long will it take for the American public to start screaming for action & help. Does the price of gasoline have to go between $4-5/gal before this happens. Does the U.S. ever want to become energy independent? Perhaps it would rather rely on the whims of the Middle East! It's sad when the amount of low rank coal in the U.S. could provide 250 -300 yrs. of Energy Independence. Silverado Green Fuel could offer a lot of expertise in this arena - $15 -20/ barrel of oil energy equivalent - please , give me a break. The Oil Barons are no longer live in the White House - does the American public want to wait until they have to decide whether its fuel or food? 4,000 families/commercial plant facilities - might ease the car crisis, home ownership crisis, credit crisis & day to day crisis as well as the increasing unemployment problems!

What do you think? Is everyone crazy & taking too much for granted? Does your local or State politician really care? How can you help to address these problems. Without affordable energy, we're in a real fix!!! Maybe we like living in the dark (pardon the pun!)
