all well and good where it's available.
also, we won't pump more of our own oil-setting up to pump our own is a huge expense, and the oil co's don't exactly see a reason to put out that kind of money when so many are pushing alternative fuels-they'd never recoup their investment.
as far as opec cutting their price-yeah, right. it's the one commodity in the middle east-without oil, they're nothing and they're broke.
