Well Barrack, How many years will it take to lower gas prices if the US moves to alternative fuels like wind, solar and new technologies which have yet to be invented or perfected?

There has been no effort to invent or perfect these technologies.
There are a million different tax incentives if you want to invest in oil or coal. Yet there are none if you want to invest in solar, wind, or other renewable technologies. Why do you suppose that is?
It's because nobody has figured out a way yet to put a meter on the wind or the sun, i.e. nobody has figured out a way to limit the supply of these things and thus make it as profitable as coal or oil can be. I'm sure you know your basic economics...... If there is an unlimited supply of a resource, then what will its price be? Answer: zero.
If they could figure out a way to put a meter on the air you breathe, Corporations would claim ownership of the air, and you would have to pay to breathe. Then we would be debating on whether your taxes should pay for some poor lazy bastard to breath, or if he deserves to suffocate, instead of debating the real issue which is whether or not anyone really has a right to own the air, or if it belongs to all of us.
