I chose number two. Not just because choice number one involves sending trillions of dollars to the Arabs. Not just because because choice number one involves keeping our economy in the toilet. Not just because choice number one is bad for the environment. I chose choice number two because it is the smartest thing to do. Imagine if the US could be making billions to trillions of dollars each year on energy rather than the Arabs.
I don't think anybody disagrees with you...but its not as simple as "let's switch"!
What alternative fuel do you propose? What timeline do you think it should be rolled out in? What do we do about every single car currently on the road that burns gasoline? What about vehicles such as semi trucks, construction equipment, etc. that burns fuel and requires lots of torque...can they be converted to this new alternative?
Most importantly - who is gonna pay for all of this?
