And you have to be able to realize McCain is pandering with that proposition, because oil companies have eaten up the competition for decades now, in regards to new technologies. It's also extremely difficult to land a patent for so-called "new technology". All kinds of road blocks, and although I'm pro business and pro free market and all that, I am able to realize the faults of the oil companies. Their lobby will always make sure to snuff out the competition. | You do realize, you use more gas driving with your window down than you do with your AC on.
