No dick head.

He just wants to reduce his gas bill by making gas cheaper. I'm saying reduce it by using less. Are you sure you never took a bullet in the head when you were in the army?

It's an excuse for stupidity.

We can also do nuclear so long as we do it correctly. If we wanted to we could create enough energy to run all commuter cars and basic everyday cars and trucks as well as all the households in this country and most of the industries in this country just using wind, solar and natural gas.

We could all but put an end to importing oil and that would remove much of our interests from the middle east. We wouldn't be giving billions to countries that hate us and we would create a ton of permanent jobs in this country not to mention the money we can make once we start selling this technology and information to other countries.

But sadly, our leaders are bought and paid for by oil companies who have no interest in in any of this so we will continue to on as we are now.
Kane has good points. We will need gas for planes, lorries and ships until they go "nuclear" and a few other things that we can't do without and oil is the only fuel we have at the moment.

So do we waste it on cars that are clearly to big for what they're needed most of the time, or do we conserve it?

He gets it 100% right, our leaders are bought and paid for by oil companies who don't have to worry about gas prices.
