Are you stoned?





The US invests billions in the development and purchasing of non-petroleum energy. Sales of hybrid vehicles and smaller, more fuel efficient cars are growing. Last year, for the first time in 25 or so years, the growth in car-miles grew less than the population. On top of all of that, the less fuel intensive service sector contrinues drive business activity, while manufacturing slowly falls to the wayside.





Higher oil prices are slowly starting to affect the choices that Americans make each day. If you want this effect to accelerate, then find a way to raise oil prices even more.Why is it that the USA has peaked it's reserves of crude oil and no one cares about looking into alturnatives?
People do care, just not the ones with the power. As long as big oil lines politician's pockets with money there will not be any changes.
To be really honest, and noone say I'm a conspiracy person, it comes down to G.W.B. People who disagree, don't try to force your opinion on me. It's wrong. If you pay attention to any history, any background information, you would know. How many times has George W. and his regime said that there is no such thing as global warming. He says this because if people become alert to the truth that running things on oil causes global warming, than people won't want to use oil, then G.W.B., the one who gets all the money from the oil companies, will become less rich.
New technologies take time to develop. Money is being spent in these areas. (Yes, we could always spend more)In the mean time, it is prudent to built a reserve. Here's an anology for you:





would you stop buying groceries for your pantry, simply because you planted a garden?





There is also the aspect of lobbyists and those in power. It's a good bet that anyone whom makes their profits from the petroleum industry or related industries, would want to avoid any venture that would create a decline in the demand for their product. Such a decline would have an ecomonic impact on the companies and shareholders. Money talks.
maybe people are or maybe where just lazy.
Are you sure it has? Even if it has, the world hasn't, so it's not a big deal right now. We have enough oil for several hundred years at current projections.
