I'll not disagree with anything you said (or the other posts about cutting back and all that). I'll just disagree that I'll do it. If I want to drive a truck that gets 17 mpg instead of 35 then I make that choice and if gas goes up too bad for me. If I want to drive a 6000# monster instead of an 1800# cracker box then it's my money. I do disagree in the US depending on anybody for energy, that's why I like E85 and B85. The biofuels buy us energy security, now (maybe) that the price of oil is up we can begin to wean ourselves from the foreign oil tap. Let them eat their oil, then.

I did a lot of research work on using ethanol byproduct feed in the early '90's and learned a little about the industry while I was doing it. One of the leading arguments against is that it takes so much energy to grow the feed stocks (natural gas that goes into N). The argument they miss is we have huge gas reserves. Sure, prices may go up but think what it would do for the economy to keep all these dollars circulating within our borders rather than the middle east and central America.
