and in the process demands a switchover to wind and solar power.  Actually some very interesting, patriotic suggestions in the interview.

That will surely stop endless urban sprawl and ignite public transport and bike lanes. I'm buying bicycle manufacturing stocks!

This will just push the demand for alternative energy. On a side note, I went to a Ford dealership the other day looking at the Escape's. I asked about the new hybrid that they come out with. It cost about $7000 more. I was told it cost about 3 times as much to maintain. I just dont think hybrids well catch on until they can get the cost down more.

Or, maybe not:

QuoteSurvey says executives see oil prices falling

HOUSTON (AP) â€" Even as oil prices ascended to new highs of more than $124 a barrel this week, many oil and gas industry executives say they expect the price to fall significantly by year's end, a new survey shows. Fifty-five percent of 372 petroleum industry executives surveyed by KPMG LLP said they think the price of a barrel of crude will drop below $100 by the end of the year. Twenty-one percent of respondents predicted a barrel of oil will end the year between $101 and $110, while 15 percent forecast the year-end price to be between $111 and $120 a barrel.

i quoted a similary in the other thread (hybrid - $8/gas, etc..) .  the other thread had them having it around $100 at end of year...i think a correction to $100-$95 levels and then $120 by end of year...
