I disagree with domestic oil drilling. We should tap everyone else dry before using our own.




Do the drilling/pipelines/etc NOW and be PREPARED to pump it...but leave it the ground as part of strategic reserves. It takes 5-7 years from approval to reality. Long time to wait if you need it.

Hydrogen power..as I understand it takes more energy to produce hydrogen fuel that the energy you get from the fuel. So the technology needed is how to make hydrogen fuel cheaper not hydrogen cars cheaper.

Currently available technology will go a long way...more nuclear power plants. Hybrid auto tech...and I also think that without ANY government involvement, we are seeing many more hybrids being made and sold at a premium (Prius, Accord, Civic, Escape, 4 runner, etc). These 2 things alone could cut US oil consmption probably in half..

Energy bill...not reslly sure yet what these oil company tax breaks are for. Anyone?
