Now seriously it could take ten plus years for this seek and DESTROY mission to get underway and POSSIBLY (bunny quotes) save us a few cents and by that time production costs would have sky rocketed our price at the pump well beyond the American citizen’s comfortable capabilities. Not to mention it will destroy the ecology of anything they touch and that is something you can NEVER repair.

Can we not take this same money and time and put a definitive search into alternative fuels; and when I say “fuels” it’s a plural because one fuel is not the answer. We need many fuels for different solutions. The government, both republican and democrat, hide our dependency on oil in that we have not found a suitable fuel (singular) replacement. Why do they continuously only look for one? Because they know the average citizen is an idiot and by micro phrasing their words and creating a pseudo battle between the parties the regular Joe will simply take a side and bend over blasting the opposite party as at fault. The fact is both parties are at fault, congress, is at fault, and we the people are at fault! If anything we the people are at fault the most due to taking this and not collaborating for a solution outside our government. I know this sounds difficult but we are a huge nation of moderately intelligent people. Long ago we constructed a government that worked, and we could do it again. The problem is like the average American of all time, we create watch, and forget. We have let professional politicians run this entire country into the ground and will continuously let them do so thinking there is no way out. What we need are unprofessional politicians, and those who disagree remember our founding fathers were not professional politicians, they are idealists; true idealists. That is what we need again.

What we need is some high officials or persuasive citizens to petition some fiscally powerful people to finally back the search for a source. I know this has probably been done but seriously “he who holds the fuel, holds the world” at this point. The oil companies are to powerful, bribing and killing whom ever gets in their way and it does need to stop. There is no reason to abandon oil, it is a very efficient and powerful combustion fuel but we can detour its use for the most essential terms, and find secondary fuels for smaller venues, like cars. We can create a biodiesel car and a hybrid car, why not a biodiesel hybrid?

Wow I made it through this entire post without swearing, I may try this more often.
