Sure sink big $$$ today so that if energy costs more in 2030,
you'll be ready. Remember when Jimmy Carter and the experts told
us we were running out of oil in the 70's? How well did that
work out?

Well, after Carter, we had a couple admin that
prohibited domestic drilling, Alaska pipe line,
etc. So, the price of oil has gone from .33 when
I was a kid, and went over 4.25 for a while, due
to supply shortages. I'd like O out, and Sarah
Palin for Pres.

I don't think it has anything to do with BO. With oil shade production techniques improving, the US has been moving towards being oil-indept. All that drilling slowed down when OPEC dropped it's price of oil. Refineries here on the west coast have started canceling contracts and put capital projects on hold until prices come back up. Plus in Calif, winter fuel is cheaper to make than summer, adding to the price drop.
