Folks:
Let's get one thing straight. The reason we are getting hammered on energy costs in the US is that many of the folks in this country have fought nuclear power plants (there hasn't been one built in the US in 20 years) and drilling for oil off the coast of Florida, Texas and in Alaska. I personally feel that $6.00 heating oil and $5.50 gasoline prices (believe me these prices are right around the corner) will be a positive in the long term. Not only will energy costs in this range spur exploration and development of traditional energy sources in this country, but they will also channel money into the development of new energy sources.
