IF I got this right...it is the greed of our country that makes us dependent on foreign oil. "Buy for less and sell for more."

As much as I would like to see us switch to a hydrogen economy....the program I watched on the history channel stated that in order to speed up the process of establishing the infrastructure and utilizing the refineries we already have...hydrogen could be produced using fossil fuels.

which means BP, EXXON, Chevron, etc...still would own our collective a$$e$.
