The thing that pisses me off about the currently dropping oil prices is that we were *this close* (where "*this close*" almost certainly means "still not close enough, dammit") to convincing the American public that we can't afford to marginalize alternate energy sources, and we should accelerate investment in such before it's too damn late.
But noooo, we can't have our precious oppressive, oil-based economies threatened by energy sources that won't mortgage our futures, financially and environmentally, so those prices have to COME DOWN!
Jeez, I sound like a flippin' Democrat. Somebody ask me about gun control, 'K?
