oil a rude awakening

you see on the news countless people bickering about the price of gas. as well they should. but we all new thia time was coming sooner or later and we all should have done something before it happened. Washington,wall street and the consumer should have woke up years ago. america runs on oil and OPEC knows that. washington should have had been giving ensintives to companies making hybrid semis years ago and eliminated diesel trucks all together .  some might say ther was no funding for that. well we could have done that instead of invading Iraq twice and the afghan war (billion+) and the auto companies should of been working on the hybrid cars of today 20 years ago.the cosumer is to blame as well. they would not poke the hybrid 20 years ago with a 10foot poll. and now the day of reckoning is upon us  http://costofwar.com/en/
