I love these conspiracy theorists!

Actually, Oil has long been determined to be one of the lowest cost energy
sources and our distribution infrastructure has been built around this.  If
we were to move to alternative fuels, that would impact the "funds" which
many politicians receive.  There is an entire world economy built around
this "cheap" energy source, and the demand is inelastic... thus the profit
structure feeds the greedy, and the end users are forced to pay through the
nose.

If we were to focus our efforts on seeking out viable alternatives, then the
lock on energy would go away.  We would have healthy competition due to
alternate solutions... instead of which source to purchase oil, we would
have the option of which energy source to select.  This is true competition,
and the supply / demand will drive the competition without regulation.

Let's put a challenge out to the list members... be the first to have an
alternative fuel powered Vanagon, which can travel 100 miles on that source.
By alternative... that can be, Electric, Air, Water, etc.  See below links
