Do we have reason to bitch
Think back to the mid seventies
Gas shortages & long lines at the pump
Did we learn then when fuel prices
Did an upward jump…
Still this country did build big road armor
Trucks got bigger & cars got more power
Did anything change for the nations farmer
Still we drive land yachts & tanks
That with fuel we still greatly devour…
I am no less to blame
MY Jeep SUV even with a six
Eats gas with at most 20 per gallon
But I am

the last line. If you'll forgive, I think it has more punch
the way it is. I was thinking I'd trade my Saturn in on
a horse; they say I've got the legs for it. -gene.

Obviously, we didn't learn, and more importantly, our so called 'leaders' didn't learn. That was the time that we, like some other nations like Holland, should have started investing in Alternative Energy type vehicles - like electric and hydrogen based.
But what did we savvy Americans do? And what are we still doin - over 30 years later - still lookin, and searchin, and warrin, over more oil, oil, oil. And now, our savvy 'leaders' want to ruin what's left of our shorelines, to get even more. And maybe, if we're extremely lucky, the price of gas will go down a few cents in a few years, and we'll all be wantin bigger and 'better' gas guzzlin muscle vehicles again. And I doubt we will ever learn, 'til there just ain't another squirt of oil left in old Mother Earth.
