I am not so sure that oil does not renew. Either way we know we have oil availible to us that is not from the middle east. This oil is being held hostage by enviromentalist groups who have a distorted veiw. I don't know if anyone has ever seen the magazine covers or stories from the 70's about global cooling and how we only had X amount of years before we freeze to death in anothe ice age. Now these same people are predicting we will burn up in our lifetimes. These folks are not mainstream and to me are about as logical as the animal rights people.
The same guys who tell us that oil is doom also won't allow us to build any more nuclear plants or use clean burning coal which we have in abundance to produce power currently being produced from burning oil. If we would utilize what we have instead of having to bow to foreign oil we could reduce the price and spend more on other energy resources.
Rich Hollywood types and liberal politicians who fly around in private jets and live in energy gobbling mansions are not qualified enough to me to make judgements, recommendations or scientific theories.
