Now that should be interesting. If it's the blog I cited the other day, I'd like to see some support for their numbers. Do you have a link?

One other OT point -- the reason I'm an independent is I don't want to be blamed for any one political party's obvious stupidity.

Currently, I'm getting a little annoyed about Democrats harping about the SPR (stop filling it, release oil...). In my opinion, this equates to lighting the extra four boilers on the Titanic. It removes/reduces our ability to respond in the event of a real emergency. Having a marginal effect on oil prices now = getting to New York in record time. When it becomes plain for all to see that we're heading into the teeth of peak oil, we'll want every last drop in that reserve.

Where I rail against Republicans is their stupidity when it comes to alternative energy. They only think with the oil half of their brain. But when thinking with that half, they can be pretty darn smart.
