I remember a few years ago nutty greenies pining for $5/gal gasoline because it would "force" the country to adopt more green policies. They are exceptionally dismayed that, now that we're there, the country is not going more green but demanding more oil.
I'm not opposed to alternative fuel research. I don't understand why environazis have to insist on suffocating our energy industry in the meantime.

We only hit $100 + a barrel oil this year . . . Give the market time. Of course the first reaction would be more oil. But if this persists, and gets worse, you'll be eating your words. And have I ever said to artificially contract the oil market? I repeat: I want the market to work. If it does, we'll win in the end.
