but no, instead of doing something like this, bush is spending money on- Mars, Terrorism, $1.90 per week tax cuts.
i won't even go into the relationship between the bush administration and big oil.... if oil reserves are the problem, bush is not the right person to be in there right now.

Couldn't agree more. Our entire way of life is based off of a non-renewable resource. And the sad thing about the alternate power sources we use now -- they either:
a.) require oil to mine, refine, or operate (coal, nuclear)
b.) are also non renewable resources (nuclear, natural gas)
c.) cannot fit the manufacturing, production, and industrial uses that oil currently does (pretty much everything else)
and
d.) Could never be adapted to provide energy on the global scale that oil does to maintain current population (solar, wind)
If a suitable alternate energy source is NOT found, and soon - then we are fucked. And by the time the majority of the population realizes the problem, it will be too late.
