If your society can't be bothered to ween off from a resource that has been proven to fluctuate so much in price then perhaps those sly elitists are the least of your concerns.

And if the trillion plus dollars the US spent fighting that war had been invested in a Manhattan like project to produce oil from known reserves in the Gulf of Mexico, the Continental shelf and synthetic diesel/gas from America’s abundant coal fields, gas would be $2 a gallon or less.   And reducing trade deficits keeps jobs in America. Every billion of trade deficit costs 13,000 jobs.  $400 billion for oil last year: do the math.  Plus declaring American energy independence is the neighborly thing to do. It would place downward pressure on world oil prices by making more OPEC oil available for the UK, France, Japan, Turkey, etc.   Harness your anger at the pump. Call Congress and demand domestic production in this decade. Raise your voice or the oil companies and politicians will assume you are ready to pay even more.  <a href="http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml</a> Are you willing to accept an ever declining lifestyle?   Choose:  FOREIGN WARS OR DOMESTIC OIL   A rapidly devaluing dollar, aggravated by the cost of the War in Iraq, contributes to recent rapid increases in the price of gas.
