Answer 1

It takes time and money to develop the resources to use a substitute fuel source like hemp. You have to grow it, refine it, market it, and get autos to run on it.

The catch is OPEC. At $3.00 a gallon, substitutes start getting possible, and it implemented the cost of the substitute drops as production gears up.

But when the folks who fund the change get all the investment out there and get the ball rolling, then OPEC will drop the cost of oil. The investors are screwed and there is no market for their product.

They will lose their hold on us as we move to smaller cars and mass transit, the amount of profit they make drops, so the have to lower the prices to maximize profits. Buying hybrid cars helps us all and the many car manufactures making them should be praised as likely OPEC will cut prices and cut demand for those autos if they get too popular.

There are better than oil based fuels out there, my favorite is hydrogen as the waste byproducts are oxygen and water.

Park SUV and ride the bus, train or carpool. If oil sales drop, they will make it cheaper.

PS IRAQ is about breaking a threat to our national safety, if a free democratic society occurs there, which I know it will, it is in the Bible, it will be a major key to peace in the middle east, but when it occurs, your have seven years.
