NOT all oil... hell not even MOST oil comes from the Middle East.... Many people profit from oil sales.... lets not forget that we still do produce between 40-45% of our own crude HERE in america... hell CANADA is our biggest importer of oil....

For all those who wish to switch.....nothing is stopping you..... the vehicles are available today.... sell your gasoline powered autos.... and I guess by association you are not helping the situation by being employed
by airlines who are huge users of petro products so maybe you should quit your job as well.....

I think we ALL probably agree that alternative sources and methods certainly need to be developed.... but it will take a generation or more to fully integrate any massive change into our economy... Gore and his 10 year carbon free statement is just so much BS and posturing its not even worth mentioning.
