WHO IS AT FAULT FOR THIS OIL PRICE RISE

When we go to vote, we expect our representatives to keep an eye out on things. Of course, the congress may or may not be pro-business which may or may not be favorable to the consumers or to the people in general. Apparently, that was the case in 1973 with the first oil embargo. As soon as that occurred, the auto industry should have met with the oil industry(the main power broker in the energy industry for fueling automobiles) and discussed a way to come up with a way to get automobiles off of gasoline or to reduce the internal combustion engine's dependence on 100 percent gasoline to a mixture of some type of oil/alcohol mixture made from crops which was known at that time. Was anything done. NOOOOOOOO...... And when another shortage occurred, NOOOOOO....... Did anybody figure that other countries might grow in population and desire automobiles and OIL, the same oil we buy from those nations that supply us, NOOOOOOO. Even I never thought about that. But if we had developed alternate fuels from 1973 on, WHO WOULD HAVE CARED. If the right thing was done in 1973, would the food crops be replaced for oil today, NOOOOOO, because we would have had time to adjust for this and corn would have been replaced by other by-products to make ethanol. In fact, maybe we would be on a hydrogen fuel cell standard by now and if not, something better, perhaps, better hybrids., for 30 something years have passed.
