Good. Do the opposite of whatever Exxon says and you're probably doing the right thing.

Although i agree with you on somepoints theres alot that he said that was true. We don't have the infrastructure to pump alternative fuels. Every gasstation would need to be upgraded and there hasn't been alot of thought on the damage these alternative fuels cause. Let me give you an example. Twoyears ago the mandate for low sulfer fuel for deisels went onto effect. This new fuel rotted almost all the seals of the fuels systemsthat had been installed in engines for years. Thousands of big rigs caught fire or simply refused to run at all. The rebuild for a bigrigs truck is almost 50% of the cost of a new engine. Thats anywhere from 12000 -30000 dollars for an engine. No government study was undertaken and no thought was given as to the burden of the costs to the nation. These large trucking companies just passed this cost on to the consumers and there wasn't anything done to help the small business owner/operator. Its going to take much longer than the President says it is and its going to get real expensive to complete. In our economy even if you are green, its not something we can afford to do yet. The plan does not take any of this into consideration. It will sound fantastic to the Green movement but it will devastate the economy even more!

So it's a hard goal to reach. Let's try anyways, right? Isn't that the point of a goal – that it be hard to reach, a motivator, something to keep us from remaining complacent?

I suppose it would be a lot easier on Exxon to set sights low, but it makes sense to me to set them high.
