Those are EMERGENCY reserves. And they need to be replaced after an emergency.
And at the current HIGH prices. And while high prices are rough, I think they
fall short of an emergency.

Now if 'w' was ANY kind of leader, he would work very hard to get the ountry to
start a serious conservation movement. He could (if he were any kind of leader)
get industry stimulated into alternate energy sources. 

Fat chance of that, huh?
