which shows how seriously people are taking the whole gas issue, crying a river about gas prices whilst driving a Hummer.

I don't see anyone who drives a Hummer complaining about gas prices - rather I see them complaining about people who can't afford a Hummer targeting them as the reason for gas prices.
The problem here is the fact that in America the top selling car is a truck

I don't see why that's a problem. That's part of the benefit of being a developed and wealthy country. If you can afford to purchase and drive a truck, I don't see any reason not to, nor do I see any reason why you think yo have the ability to tell them not to.

We all know that oil is not scarce, is not priced high because of actual demand, and to those of us who don't believe the Global Warming fear mongering, we don't see a reason to lower our usage of it. There are plenty of ways to make oil cheaper if that's what the real target was - including drilling out own. But lets be real here - politicians on the left do not want gasoline to be cheaper, but rather they want it more expensive in order to proceed with their social engineering dreams.

If you can't see the problem, you are the problem.!! When are you yanks going to get real? For F#$%'s sake, an F150 is a good car? Most people who buy them for their usfulness? Give us a break. They are what they are - TRUCKS, not cars! NO OTHER people in the world NEED an F150, but hell americans all need them, lol.
Come on man. The running costs and purchasing cost I beleive. But what happens when oil goes up again? Another economic catastraphy waiting to happen? Stop pointing to the size of your penis.

Who gives a s*** what they buy them for. Its their money, their choice. Get over it.

No. Rather no other people in the world can afford to drive an F-150 because their country is not as developed or wealthy, or their government taxes them to all hell so their gas prices make it unfeasible to buy what they want. Social engineering at its finest.

When oil goes up? Get real. You don't think anyone buying SUV's and trucks right now do so knowing they may pay much more in the future? And in case you haven't noticed, the economic catastrophe was not caused by trucks or suv's, it was a complete byproduct. The price of oil is not related at all to how much oil there actually is available in the world - we're not running out anytime soon, and it will still be going beyond when we're dead and gone. Anyone trying to justify against that fact is clearly fear mongering for their "clean" objectives which really aren't so clean. Instead of worrying about the prices of gasoline going up $1, perhaps you should be worrying about peoples electric and heating bills doubling and tripling each month due to your "clean" endeavors - now THAT will cause a domestic economic catastrophe.

Yes this is how it needs to be done.

Nuclear electricity -> electrolysis -> hydrogen. Done deal.

When are you a$$holes going to stay out of our business? Seriously, if we're doing that much to harm to the planet come on over and stop us from doing it? If it REALLY is that important or that critical, why aren't your respective countries banding together to force us to change? I see all of this head wagging and finger pointing and this "woe is us" if we don't change our ways. None of it is working!!!

We continue to put the Ford F-series on the top of our list for vehicles when it's time to buy a car. I own a 2006 Ford F250 diesel myself and my wife uses it as a daily driver. We bought it because we wanted it!! Internet a$$holes don't factor into our purchase decisions. Like I said, if it's that important to the future of the planet that we change our habits, then come on over and force us to change. Until that happens, we WILL continue going our own way.
