Well I only have about 30 years of gas left but then I am old Seriously though what we leave behind for our kids is very important even though when I look at some of todays kids I can't help but think they could care less. I could be wrong here (it would be the first time this year) but I suspect the push for alternative fuels and motors will really get started any soon moment and then what are all the Sheiks going to do

Also I think I heard this about 20 years ago so I guess we really only have about 40 years of fuel left.

Tim, you might want to move this to the general discussion group.
