Yeah, Doug, what GUEST in NW said.

Where's the blueprint?

And. yes, Dougie, I do drive a car. It has 4 cylandars and gets over 35 mpg on the highway and 25 around town. The P-Vine also has a car. Same make and model. We plan all of our trips so as to not burn any mote gas than we have to.

We also have two woodstives up stairs and one in my shop which provided us with about 75% of our heat. If public transportation ever makes it out here, I will be more than happy to use it as much as possible.

Now, my friend, if every American family lived as energy conscious as we live, I'd bet America could cut its need for oil in *half*!!!

What that would do, Dougie, is at least conserve what oil is left while we work on creating renewable energy sources. Unlike the so-called "energy policy" that the oil industry wrote with Dick Cheney, this would represent a responsible energy policy. We have no right thinking it is our jobs to try to burn up as much oil as we possibly can during our time here on the planet. It narcisistic, greedy, immoral and downright stupid.

Now, back to your so-called blueprint for getting the oil without war. Exactly how's this supposed to work again? And is Iraq the model?
