Earl, I have to say I think there's a bit of misdirected hostility at the
oil companies. Gas, fuel oil, airplane fuel, etc. are actually less now
than in the 50s, adjusted for inflation. The oil companies must find the
reserves, pay for the rights, develop and market the product, etc. In my
opinion they deserve to make money at it. Have you taken a look at what
taxes are on gasoline? By the way, if we stopped driving for a day, a lot
of us would not be going to work to keep the our country moving. If you
want to take a bike, fine, but 30 miles in the dark and snow is a bit much
for me.

I personally think new products will come with demand. If more people want
electric cars, great. I would like to see a fuel cell powered car, but
until they have the range, reliability, and power of my car, I will
continue to wait.

By the way, as far as the cell phone antenna goes, my preferred solution is
a more educated and aware populace, not another big brother solution.

Just my opinion.

Ed
