Let's face it, the real solution will be when we can come up with alternatives to using oil in our cars and trucks ... things like hydrogen or maybe electricity or maybe something more exotic than I can imagine. Even a better public transportation system would help. Federal support for rail right-of-ways might go a long way to bring that form of transportation back as a "people mover." Need to try something, that's for sure.

Either alternative fuels or at least doing like Brazil and bringing the level of ethenol (corn alcohol) up to 70 or 90%. Retuned engines run fine on this and it dramatically reduces the amount of oil needed by our cars and trucks.
