It's interesting that oil has dropped below $100 a barrel because of this.  But I somehow doubt that we'll see that in our gas tanks.

punxrus:
Nope. OPEC will just either decrease or stop production and either keep prices where they are at or have them go up. It's all about supply and demand. The US demand has slowed immensely over the past year, so stopping production will only increase demand after a while. US needs to go Green, stay away from OPEC Oil and bring gas saving technology back state side! Yes...I'm talking to you Ford!

nuclear to power industry and cities,solar for your hot water and street signs/lights,water and wind to give reserves in emergency(hell texas and louisiana could have been powered for a year this week)
we need to stop the wests reliance on arab oil,more nuclear power stations please-4000% cleaner than oil or gas

Ummon:
There's a LOT of resistance by various groups (who seem very much like the vegie heads in behavior) to nuclear. Texas has the most wind power in the country and is building more. Stuff is happening. It just takes a while.

JONTHEBOMB:
The main reason I want the US to avoid building a bunch of nuclear power plants is because of this:

Also, where does all the nuclear waste go?

Underground in barrels that will contaminate our water supplies. :dunno
