Yet. Let gas get to $10/gallon and we'll see how fast "Yet" changes to "Now". It's not the government that will provide energy independence and it's not the rabid eco freaks either. It's the free market. The longer gas is held to artificially low levels (yes $3/gal is low) it will retard development of alternatives. So I say NO NEW WELLS, no new sources of oil, and let George fulfill his wet dreams by invading another oil producing country or two. Then let the market sort itself out and we'll be energy independent in no time.
