We need to send our dependency on oil. Have you looked outside lately? Notice the DROUGHT that nearly killed our harvests this year? That's the legacy of our gasoline-dependent economy.

You're barking up the wrong tree about gasoline. I'd rather see that go away than the consequences we are facing RIGHT NOW from its availability.
