The market will dictate the price of oil when that ban takes place, and that price structure will drive the alternatives. Give Industry a few years heads-up, and we will have energy independence, someone smart and greedy will devise a way to do it, no doubt about it. > > Why do we keep using oil? Simple Economics, nothing cheaper is available. who says that new energy research will be government run of government mandated. You can make your own biodiesel right now. Seems to me it takes government OUT of the equation. And as far as the banning of foreign oil? If you did that, our economy would come to a grinding halt. Gas would cost $50 a gallon. inflation would go through the roof. It would ultimately end in total anarchy and the entire destruction of the United States as we know it. So how about we just work on those biofuels instead. 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gore-wins-nobel-peace-prize/193001)._
