did you guys hear about that one exxon exec that got a $600 million retirement package? These oil companies are all greedy sons of bitches. The only REAL solution to this problem of the oil cartels, is for us to invest in newer technologies (no, not ethanol as that is garbage). We need to be creative and rethink the way we do things, instead of trying to come up with a half assed solution (aka ethanol) that even if it does work, will only be short term and has its own problems.
In the mean time, we should pressure our government to actually do something instead of all this nonsense rhetoric. But I guess it won't happen any time soon, since our government is dominated by special interests.
