Death grip on America? Are you serious?
Although I dont like buying crude oil from the ME anymore than any other American, can you tell me what's wrong with the mindset of depleting
their resources before fully tapping into ours?
The only way I see us 'saving' the environment is for us to basically move back into the stone ages.
You've already showed us you're not willing to step up to the plate and lead by example by driving whats CURRENTLY on the market (hybrid) in an effort to save the enviro....but yet you feel the need to bitch about everyone else not doing anything.
Id be willing to bet you if GM/Ford/Chrysler came out with a full blown electric car tomorrow for twice the cost of a comparable gas/diesel driven vehicle (which isnt unusual since ALL new technology always costs more upfront) you'd probably come up with some other BS excuse, not buy the car and still bitch about the enviroment. Tell me Im wrong!
I hate to bust your bubble but like many other countries THIS country HAS become very oil dependant. Not only in transportation but in heating our homes, making products, etc.....We're not gonna become an oil-free nation anytime soon so get over it. You wanna cut down on our ME dependency then ALLOW increased drilling and refining in the US......but I bet you're against that too, right or wrong?
