Hmmmm, would be cool. BTW, maybe you'll see railroads to ship things come back as well, you can ship more on a gallon of diesel than you can by truck or worse, by air (although planes use jet fuel). Sorry for the OT statement, but I hear that airlines will be cutting 60 to 90 million seats between now and Christmas due to fuel. Even with the higher gas prices now, it is cheaper to drive than go by air.

Still, I wonder why no one else brought up USA manufacturing again but with the costs of fuel, it might happen. BTW, I think Hyundai opened up a plant in Alabama so even foreign companies are making factories here to be closer to the demand.
