For almost 70 years my families business was in fuel. It started in coal then went onto oil so I have a sort of heightened sensitivity to the ups and downs of the petroleum markets and the actions of the OPEC jokers. One thing that gets my goat is people who complain about the cost of fuel and our dependence on foreign oil but freek out whenever drilling/exploration is proposed anywhere in the US. We can`t have it both ways folks.
And before I get bombarded with the "alternative fuels" argument I agree that we do need to keep researching alternatives to fossil fuels (another one people often freak out about is nuclear energy). But we need to provide a solution for our current situation and that mean domestic exploration/production. If a practical, clean and renewable alternative comes along GREAT! I`m on board and darn happy about it but don`t complain about today`s problem if your position has been an obstacle rather than an aid.
nton Pardon my rant. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
