Gas prices keep going up..up..and away!

Have we been spoiled, or should I say programmed to believe that oil is at our disposal on a whim, and that it's the only reliable energy source to fuel our lives? As a child growing up in the 70's I clearly remember waiting in the long gas lines about 50 cars or more deep with my dad in our wood paneled 1960's station wagon.

Wow!

Those days gasoline was scarce, so we were told, and prices went from .55 - .65 cents per gallon up to about .90 - $1.00 per gallon and folks were steamed to say the least.

I remember we were told that our "gas guzzlers" were the problem and we needed to resort to the newer emerging Japanese cars.

Is this starting to sound familiar so far?

Once again we're told that our "gas guzzlers" (SUV's) that were pushed on us by our own auto manufactures are the problem, and of course we're to blame. I say, let's once and for all develop our own source of fuel, and let's start with the all natural, ever plenty, and environmentally friendly, H2O.
