When gas hits $10 / gallon, we're totally [censored]

We'll never see $10/gal gas (not considering inflation). Synthetic fuels cost a little over $5/gal

No way synth fuels will keep us from hitting massive gas price hikes when the sh*t hits the fan. The Dems/greens will fight forever to keep new facilities from being built - of any type (synth, nuclear, etc). Without a MASSIVE IMMEDIATE buildup of energy production capacity, we won't be able to stop the huge inflation in gas prices soon to come. I still think terrorists will blow up our current facilities, or an international incident will bring shipping to a crawl and we won't be able to import much oil. By then it'll be too late to ramp up synth fuel production. Our economy, which TOTALLY depends on cheap gas, will be quickly destroyed. Airplanes won't fly.. farmers won't farm, truckers won't deliver goods. Its really gona suck.

I hope I'm wrong of course, but I've seen nothing to convince me otherwise.. including all the discussions in this thread. Electing Dems will only make the situation worse of course.
