Cold fusion isn't a practical economic solution to general fuels, not to mention that it's not all that conceivable.
Quote:but if this ends up being a large scale ordeal, what it will do is send a message.The only message it'll send is that American's are not only princess-y, but we're also as unfair as OPEC. The problem with simply not buying gasoline is that you're still going to drive around, and if you won't someone else will. These people lose $15-30 dollars when they're in the upper income percentiles of the Earth and they complain when people elsewhere are walking in "uncivilized" areas. The fact of the matter is this. If you really care about the gas prices just keep driving. Drive, and drive, and drive in your gasguzzling, natural resource wasting meatgrinders. Show OPEC that you'll put up with higher and higher prices. They'll price themselves so high that they'll soon simply fall apart. ONE of the leading holders in OPEC are gonna cheat. They'll break off and try to get a piece of the pie for themselves. Everyone else will follow suit and the oily oasis will tumble. Or maybe you need to just start saving up for a smartcar or plug in. :P
