But you forgot about reason #3....our economy is down. Nothing like a war to pull up the economy.

Its not likely to change our economy to be less reliant on oil. There are some minor things that can be done. But converting to natural gas, bio-diesel, etc are very costly. That's the biggest drawback for people. That & the fact their is no standard for any of these alternates.
