re: #230 Racer X

Dude. You want the price of oil to go sky high so that alternative energy will be competitive? Really?

When the price of gasoline skyrocketed a year or so ago the price of food shot way up as well. As did other commodities.

Food prices sky rocketed because of world wide droughts (climate change effects anyone?) and that idiots were trying to use our food supply for fuel. That quickly was found to be a bad idea. And if you think food prices sky rocketed off of that, what do you think will happen when farmable land becomes harder to come by due to climate change?
