Not enough with gas prices above $2.00. Produce more oil and make more gas to bring gas down below $2.00. Nuclear, wind, coal, solar are just sideshows.

[Free Vulcan]

And when oil is ready to step into the big leagues, gallons used might be as big as our yearly Federal Deficit.

FDR had a very nice collection of dead birds at Hyde Park. He had no use for the previous items. So there....

Imagine the gallons saved if they banned those zillions of plastic water bottles made and trashed each year.
