2 things to keep in mind

1.) Even though reserve estimates are higher than 1944 the rate of consumption has also doubled and tripled ! So you may have more of it, but it is being used up at a more rapid rate. (therefore this article is deceiving)

2.) The zero disregard for the environment. The entire point of alternative energy (green energy) is to reduce pollution and be more sustainable. (oil will eventually run out).

So this is so typical of someone in the pockets of the big oil companies. Anti-environment.

The transition from oil dependency is not an easy one, nor is it cheap (short term). Long term it will save this country trillions of dollars (including cost of natural disasters due to the changing climate), help slow global warming, make us more secure from our enemies.

There will be set backs (solyndra) (volt). However, there is so much more potential. Imagine if Ford came up with the equivelent of the Prius before the Japanese. The Prius is becoming very popular in the U.S. with over 1 million cars sold. The gas mileage is the best in the industry. I cannot say enough about the Toyota Prius. Too bad a U.S. car company wasn't smart enough to produce a car like that. Perhaps it is because big oil doesn't want fuel efficient cars to be built. Greed my foilks, it's all about greed. Don't be so quick to bash alternative energy without knowing all the facts.
