I realize that we will probably always need to burn some oil to convert it to energy... which means we will always need a source for oil. This is probably all the more reason to use it somewhat sparingly. Ultimately, I'd like to see us free from foreign oil.

What folks don't seem to get is that it is a finite source of energy.....one day there will be no more, and rendering the discussion of it, a moot point. Do we wait for that fateful day to arrive, or do we, like the thinking beings we claim that we are, do something actively about it now? Little movement towards that end, hence the reason for my cynicism.
