If their ideas are sound then they will come to market and be successful. No other industries are "protected". This is anti-capitalist. I believe that we need to go to alternative fuels but it will take time and it will be a while until they are cost effective for everyone to use.
I will not be bullied into this though ! The average consumer will make the decision. I am not going to spend $50,000 on a car. I will wait until it becomes more reasonable.
We need to drill for our own oil here in the US until the day comes where Alternative Fuels can take over. We have enough oil to last us decades.
Obama though is not very smart and I think he will try to add more taxes to gas prices or attempt to manipulate them. I think he will also do the same with our energy program. This will be another catastrophic decision (like his "stimulus" bill) which will only hinder alternative energies and anger consumers.
Let's also not panic. More and more information is contradicting the myth of global warming. Let's do this to reduce pollution not because of junk science.
