While it is true the government has limited our choices in alternative energy by subsidizing oil using our income taxes, the people have more than their share of blame. We are the ones sitting in the parking lots on steaming hot days running our air conditioners full blast while someone is inside a store shopping for hours. We are the ones hat don't drive the speed limit. We are the ones that choose monster vehicles. We are the ones that don't carpool.

The alternative energies are actually far cheaper than oil. If the government were not subsidizing gasoline prices with our income taxes, gas would cost $15.00 at the pump (according to Dick Cheney) to $20.00 at the pump (according to the Resource Defense Council) to $25.00 a gallon (according to environmentalists).

If the government was to subsidize electric cars, or wave generators, or CO2 distillers, or ocean current turbines like they do oil, we would not only not have to be fighting in the middle east, but energy would be  a third of the cost.

Huh? How is the federal tax payer subsidizing gasoline prices to the tune of 90%? Gasoline is actually higher because of taxes.

There is a certain cost to bring a gallon of gas to the pump. Included in that cost is the military, environmental, political, and diplomatic costs. Most of the cost of that gallon of gas is paid by income taxes.

The tiny percentage of taxes you pay at the pump doesn't even BEGIN to cover the cost of the roadways much less the bribery of foreign governments or the cost to pay Buck Private Smith to guard that oil field or the cost of a Tomahawk cruise missile.

Now, with 79% of the bridges unsafe, and most of the roads degrading faster than they can be repaired ...... you simply aren't paying your share.
