That pissed me off mainly because i've donated to a lot of those national and state parks in alaska.I love how alaska looks mainly because its one of the last areas of this planet that has literally been remained untouched by mankind.I can believe that Bush did it mainly because he is a oilman.Conservatives really aren't conservative.Conservationist aren';t really mad mainly because this oil might help ease the economy.But that oil in alaska is gonna be dried up within 7 years. I hate the leaders of this world now.They can't see the end.HEck smurf i would start changing crap once i saw that movie The Day After Tomorrow.America really needs to raise there gas prices ro $5.00 a gallion.Then those dumbass soccer moms aklfhshflkzdhfjfklsddafdsfds I'm pissed.....

Then after the test concludes you have to problem of forcing people to transition is say a 5-10 year period of time. You have people that want the nice 70,000 viper. You have to worry about slowly transitioning to Fuel Cell stations instead of Gas Stations. At what point to you stop selling gas and tell people "Buy a new 40,000 piece of equipment". $40,000 isn't cheap and is hard to come by. It is quite hard to actually transition. Lots of planning needs to go into it. I am sure there really is no plan and that when the time comes it will be fly blind.
BTW if people do staZRt buying it the prices will most likely go down.Its time for a abrupt change not a casual slow change.
