[quote=Anonymous]I think the real story here is the auto industry preventing the development of more fuel-efficent cars because "consumers want high-powered vehicles!" Our fuel efficiency is LAUGHABLE compared to other developed countries'. Obama helped push through legislation that got manufacturers to agree to better efficiency standards (no small feat). Oil isn't going to become cheap again just because you want it to -- it's a finite resource and the countries with a lot of oil are largely not our friends. If we really want to help poor people, then we need to invest in alternative energy sources (solar, hydroelectric, wind, etc) that will boost our energy sector and keep money out of the pockets of politically unstable countries.
