WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

"Oil conservation is the largest untapped reserve totaling unknown billions of barrels to 2050. Yeah, I know there is no drop of oil in conservation but it is no different to drilling for new oil. Every barrel of oil you conserve is equal to every barrel of oil you drill. Conservation is the biggest oil reserve topping Saudi Arabia and Iraq combined. America will have to conserve the biggest share of the conservation reserve out of thin air. it is a fact! Nobody likes to tell you to stay home instead of driving. This is what it takes to conserve oil."

"With Obama's great mediafest on his recent overseas trip, John McCain's week on the campaign trail was ostensibly not a good one. But given that the polls did not move in favor of Obama after such a successful tour, McCain - one can argue - is doing fine."
