As long as the oil companies have their hand in every facet of our government, alternative energy will not become popular. The two are so intertwined (government and the oil industry) that it would take nothing short of a real worldwide crisis to change things.
The real problem, from what I understand, is not lack of supply, but lack of refineries. Why would oil companies fund the construction of more refineries for billions of dollars so that we can process crude oil into usable gas when they're seeing sick ass profits as is? I wouldn't do it either if I was an oil tycoon.
That is a crooked crooked fuckin industry man. And I'm not complaining one bit, because I own a bunch of stock in Texaco =p hahah
