Jack! How ya been! You know this is a kinda funny issue. We are told 
that gas prices are up because of suppy and demand issues. And I guesss 
it is sorta true. Thw world demand is is but they really only want 
topump a certain amount. That raises price. But here in the states we 
apparently have all the product we need. There are no  long lines, no 
shoving and yealling at the pumps, etc. And Jack, I think you are right. 
If we cut back on fuel, then more fuel will go to th eother countries. 
That will make a real shortage here and the prices will go up.  They say 
drill for more oil. Ok, but what will the price for that oil be? It wont 
be 20 bucks a barrel for sure. Funny, but it will be near the current 
price of oil. Just like today, does anybody think that all those wells 
that are pumping away here in the US are selling their product for 
cheap? Not on your life, lol. They are charging nearly the same amounts 
as the mid east oil. Less the usual discount for heavy crude vs light 
sweet crude.  If wqe drill and get more oil, that oil will be sold to 
the foreigh countries and we wil lstill be short, lol.  This is a no win 
end game. What needs to happen is some form of fuel that is readily 
available and will never run out. And has no by products to deal with. 
Electricity? Maybe, if it comes from wind. NAt Gas? No, as it has by 
products that pollute the environment. Hydrogen? No because it is a 
stroage medium. Aalcohol? Naw, it also produces by products 
(aldehydes).. Algae? Maybe, this is workable for a short term fix but it 
also produces by products.

And none of it will ever be cheap again. Trust me on that?
