Oil Usage
I found this graphic showing US oil usage by sector..

interesting to note how transportation usage has exploded while industrial usage has grown but much more moderately. Thank you, SUV drivers and manufacturers for further exacerbating the problem!
Personally I think people who drive cars that get less than 25MPG as commuter vehicles ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Of course our government isn't helping things too much, either. I guess we'll have to leave it to economics to finally get people to change their attitudes about the cars they drive and the kind of economic/environmental/political effect it has.
