Energy and oil.
I firmly believe that if we don't get a grip on this, we will have no environment to protect, therefore it is my #1 issue.
We as a society need to stand up and demand alternative fuels, not this 1% of company profits going to alternative fuel "research".
Crude oil is down $10 a barrel, but our fuel prices are up an average of $.39 a gallon...how is this possible? It's possible cause the oil companies are showing 15 billion dollar profits while last year they were 5 billion.
There was an interview done recently on one of the big gas execs (I think it was exxon mobil) and the basic comments are "well, it's supply and demand, if the demand is high, then prices will be high". In other words, we are too dumb to stop them.
We need someone to take the reigns with this and get us converted to say, corn fuel.
