Hey Don Quijote, I am hoping that gas goes to $20. a gallon. That is what it
will take to get America to abandon their cars. And the sooner the better!

At $20 a gallon there will a glut of alternative energy sources on the
market at a low price, The result will be a lot more cars being bought.

Nope, the fact is there are no good alternative sources of fuel for powering
motor vehicles. It there were, they would already be here.

All alternative sources of fuel for motor vehicles have proven a dismal
failure without subsidy. Most folks could never afford to have a private
motor vehicle if fuel cost anything like $20. a gallon.
