Gas Prices!!!

No-one's safe in this argument, you can place blame on both the government and the oil companies. There's good points on either side. My argument: Look at how advanced our technology has become in the past 20 yrs. You've got to be kidding me that we can't develop an alternative way to develop a fuel or an engine that can run more efficiently...TRUST ME WE CAN!! It's the Auto companies/Oil/Government that hold us back.. It's in the best interest of the govt. to keep us on oil, look at how much they make on the stuff and they don't drill for it, refine or deliver it, they just tax it! Ethanol is a freakin' joke, it takes 3 gallons of fuel to produce 1 gallon of ethanol and that one gallon uses enough corn to feed one person for an entire year! Brazil right now has been developing Ethanol through sugarcane which is a more direct result, since ethanol comes from the breakdown of sugar..they are having a lot of luck with it and can run about 80% of their vehicles on the stuff....Also, if you think oil prices are high, take a look at the food industry..it's really taking a beating...restaurants are changing their menu prices almost monthly because of the fluctuations in rice, cheese & basic food products.
