| | | Fuuck the Middle East and their oil There are so many alternatives. Here's an idea- Instead of $500 billion per year on Iraq, how about we just spend $500 billion on alternative energy and things like this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer-Tropsch_Reaction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntroleum

| | | Who is "we"?
I doubt that any single country wants to invest in alternative energy, because after they discover it, it's only a matter of time until every other country that didn't spend $500 billion in research copies it.
It's one of those things that's good in theory, is well within our technological reach but isn't practically possible. I'm with misombra. Just walk or get around the old fashioned way. These gas prices are just criminal. | |

| | | Gas wouldn't be so expensive if it wasn't like 80% tax.
Don't blame the middle east, blame our stupid governments.

| | I say we turn the highways into bike paths...or at least add a portion for bikes. Hell, I bike whenever I can to cut on the cost of fuel. There's too many cars and too many lazy people.

| | | I'd enjoy doing the thing in the video wearing a t-shirt saying
"Bike > Car".
Going by train nowadays, but in two months I'll try pick up biking to uni.
