Ya know, instead of just simply making up statistics off the cuff, maybe we can try a research tool or two.
I'm not a global warming alarmist, I just don't think you'll get any traction in your arguments if you don't have good facts. And it's pretty clear the US does have a pretty hearty appetite for oil.
My basic assumption is: If the alarmists are right about GW, and the alarmists are right about peak oil then the natural conclusion is the problem will fix itself since we'll have no choice but alternate fuels when the oil runs out. So the GW people
should be hoping we drive the biggest lowest MPG vehicles to just get that pesky oil gone so we can move on. It drives me NUTS when the global warming crowd talks about conservation using peak oil as a motivator.
