Well said Duke
Doesn't the argument boil down to do what you can/feed your conscience. When the masses cry for relief from rising oil costs and the need exists for alternative sources, isn't that when American ingenuity and our great capitalistic society kick in to far exceed our expectations? Agreed, one source cannot replace fossil fuels, but multiple sources, developed over time, may reduce the demand enough to allow other technologies to develop and allow production of the remaining fossil fuels. Baby steps. Besides, isn't the best storage tank for American oil under American soil? The quicker we reduce our dependence on overseas oil, by any means, the better.
