To speak exclusively of conservation," said U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney in early 2001, "is to duck tough issues." The tough issue is that energy production must increase, and conservation will only slow that increase but can't stop it.

Take a look in Great Britian, France, or Germany. Think you can find a Ford Expedition? How about a Chevy Surburban? How about a Ford Explorer for that matter. You cannot find these vehicles over there. And why is that? Because the gas costs too much, that is why.
So, do you think that our collective consumption of gasoline would diminish if every Expedition, Suburban, Explorer, Grand Cherokee, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tahoe, Trailblazer, Humvee, and Pathfinder were effectively off the road? The answer is obvious. You may not like it, but it is obvious.
