Then why can't we all work from home 1-2 day a week to conserve on gas. Then why do office buildings leave their lights on 24 hours a day - just so the office looks pretty? Why doesn't the U.S. beef up the public transportation system and provide better bus/train routes and build bus shelters so poor souls aren't standing in snow banks waiting for buses? Then why... it today's technologoy instead of business travel don't we use video conference????

and what I REALLY don't get...why do companies shell out cash for company cars, bonus trips, rounds of golf, steak dinners and the occasional "massage" for the execs? Then they cut the lowly employees to "cut costs".

Yeah, yeah Mr. President we ARE addicted to foreign oil. BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T GIVE ENOUGH RESEARCH GRANTS FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE POWER/FUEL SOURCES OR INVEST IN NEW GEOLOGICAL PETROLEUM TECHNOLOGIES TO FIND OIL IN OUR BACKYARD. (He is such a mutt.)

Employers won't hire jobseekers without a car, here in sunny Arizona. Then the vehicle deteriorates in a hot parking lot and worse gets broken into, cleaned out or disappears altogether. Carpooling - you optimist! Many shuttle from one low paying parttime job to the next.

I couldn't agree more..but let's go drill into Alaska...yeah that'll solve everything. Yeah that's the ticket...I'm going to stop now before I end up writing for an hour.

Hey Guys--I know it's still in infant stages, but some cities like Baltimore are giving tax breaks and discounted parking to people who own hybrid cars. It's a tiny step in the right direction, though it's only a tiny step. Maybe once we're all too old to appreciate alternative power sources we'll be well on our way to discarding combustion alltogether. Either that or we'll all be dead. Either way, I don't see it happening in our lifetimes.
