Our country would be a better place if we stopped using gasoline to power our cars.

Aerospacepilot put it right on the head. I especially like the line about we are willingly allowing the largest transfer of wealth in human history. We need to get off of oil. Not just for environmental reasons, but primarily for economic reasons and national defense reasons. We are funding both sides of the war on terror.

Alternative energy is the only solution. As long as the world consumes large amounts of oil, the Arabs are going to be making money at our expense. And I don't like that. Unfortunately, too many people on these forums don't seem to care.
