Rising Fuel Costs Force Choices

About the only thing I can agree with Robert here is that the rising fuel costs are causing Americans to make choices.

You can do two things: 1. cry about it like the woman and her two children suffering between the choices of renting a video and putting fuel in their car, or 2. you can get your household budget in order.

Of course I feel for a single mother and her two children. However, I cannot fall prey to a heartfelt logic that tries to lure a George Bush conspiracy theory.

The high prices of oil aren't some conspiracy at the white house and George Bush. It is simply a matter of supply and demand. The solution is for America to become energy independent. We can do this by drilling our own vast oil reserves and at the same time develop new, sustainable technology.

My only question is, "Why is this taking so long?"
