That wasn't what I got from your first statement. Come on Bob, you know me better than that. I'm not one of "the masses" and neither are you.

It's likely that we will become a leader in alternative energy and it will provide the next big boom to our economy. Countries like China and India may be growing rapidly but they are still largely social disasters and economically backwards. The global economy depends on the US. I'm not worried about it yet.

I agree with you JC, but why hasn't alternative energy caught on yet? It seems like a lot of people believe we don't need it yet and we just need to drill for more oil. I'm sure that would help now but can't we push forward alternative energy at the same time? Maybe it's a slow development process. Does it have anything to do with "big oil keeping alternatives down" or is that just a bunch of hooey?
