How long did the people of this country think that this economy, so dependent upon crude oil, could continue growing under the weight of high energy cost? A gallon of gas nearly doubled over the last eight years???
We relied upon one energy source for far to long and now this dependence is coming back to haunt us.
We had our wake up call decades ago in 1973 and for the next 3 and a half decades we did absolutely nothing except become more dependent on crude oil.
What is most troubling, however the end to this future nightmare, which may or may not be upon us, is no where in sight.
