You say...

"Eventually Congress will be forced to get out of the way and allow drilling our OWN oil. That will fix all the transportation problems. Should have happened in the 90's but Slick Willie vetoed it."...

I certainly hope not!...

Oil Platforms off the San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Francisco Bay, Mendocino Coast, and the rest of the majestic coast, so that you can drive your you big CHEVY TAHOE SUV!?

Think of next generations man?...

If Roseveltt and John Muir followed your advice, there would be no Yosmite and Yellowstone and the rest of the National Parks!...

Fortunately there are a lot of Americans beleive in preservation of our National Resources that Nature took millions of years to create for enjoyment by next generations.

If the technology is there, and if we can reduce car consumptions by one half by increasing gas mileage to 30 miles per gallon, that is more than all the oil barrels we can get from places currently banned...

Happy 4th of July...
