Yes I am part of the Obama nation! I am pretty moderate Democrat but ironically Bush administration has gone so radically to the right that I am view was left winger!
The one great thing about OBama is that he doesn't have any ties to Oil Industry- I think he will conceive a manhattan project for energy independence -- as I have noted in previous postings
The ONLY way to make the price of oil go down in long run is to decrease the demand. Ford/Carter proves this in the 70s
Ford and Carter implimented aggressive energy saving policies Our demand for oil dropped 30% for it's peak in mid 70s.
If we had followed the CAFE roadmap set in 1975 we would be driving in vehicles that average 42 miles a gallon The CAFE road map was suspend in 1986 by Reagan because the oil glut was threatening to crash the oil industry.
if we have car that average 42 miles a gallon today we would be importing ZERO barrels of oil from ME.
Creating technologies that help the enviroment and increase of energy independence are going to be a boom for our economy as much as the internet was in the 1990s -
