Forget About 100-mpg Cars
- and said:
100 mpg cars would be great, but do you know how long it would take for those cars to saturate the highways? Maybe you have enough money to go and buy any new “green” car that comes out each year, but most of us don’t! We have enough oil in and around the US to have .80 cent gas for the next 30 years! We do not have the refining capacity or the guts to go and drill for it. How do you think we will power the electric cars? Coal burning power plants? We need to change our power plants to Nuclear and carbon scrubbing coal or oil. All of it will take time! How do we drop the price of energy now, Drill, Drill, Drill! We need to put OPEC out of business! Tell guys like Chavez to kiss our ass! When GM or Ford makes a SUV (yes I want an SUV to protect my family and carry all of our stuff) then I will buy a “green” car! We need to take the blinders off, stop our elected leaders from using fuel and energy to control us! 40% of the cost of a gallon of gas is taxes, federal and state! Tell your congressional leaders to get off their ass and let American companies drill now, new jobs for Americans, money stays in our economy, and we can not be held hostage!
