Drilling Alaska won't solve the problem. A better idea would be to use America's industrial and technological might to invent viable electric vehicles. The vehicles are already invented, they just need someone to invent better batteries for longer range. Oil is a finite resource, electricity isn't! If someone doesn't make a viable electric vehicle soon, many Canadians, Americans and everyone else are going to be walking. Add to that the fact that electric motors require a fraction of the maintenance of Gas cars. That equates to us buying a car with years of trouble free driving, and more cash to buy electricity for them. Not to mention electric cars are far cheaper to run than gas ones.

that has not been proven true.

and would currently cost like $30,000+ if it is true??

Let the wild conspiracies fly!!! So you think that the 'oil shortage' is false and is a scam?! But where's the evidence.

@Waffles

Why can't we do both?

Actually...it is true, not 100% water of course.
You use hydrogenated water and regular gasoline. I have seen the system myself.
This guy had it hooked up to his Ford Taurus.
He had a small hydrogen tank and a water reservoir (10 or 15 gallons) set in the passenger side floor. The hydrogen and water mix on the way to the fuel injectors.
He said he got about 60 miles to the gallons. Of course he was the engineering prof at one of the community colleges. So you don't need a ton of money really....you just have to be technically smart.

P.
S. You can also use water injection on diesel engines by shooting regular water through injectors into the intake manifold. One injector per port. You don't use it save fuel though...it adds a quick boost of power.

Idiot. OPEC cuts production just enough to meet Demand. China and India are buying petroleum at record highs now. It's a shortage in production, not in actual oil.
