snake oil
high oil prices will be good for us. they will force us to do things we should have done years ago. like solar power. like higher mpg standards. like conservation. kinda like the fuel shortages of the 70's. at least until opec created an oil glut. this time though, there is no spare production capacity. prices are going to stay high. and with the events the war president set in motion they're likely to stay volatile too. another boon for solar. i am still stubbornly refusing to accept the notion that swatting the hornet's nest was either the best way or the only way to achieve these results.
