Inflation Fears Are Overblown
The odds are that no matter how one dresses it up, the US economy will be an ugly pig for some time. And it's just gonna get uglier. If nothing else, panicky consumers losing their jobs and struggling to pay for gas will make that a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Just watch.

An Alternative to America’s Gasoline Crisis
That's a short-term stopgap at best. We just don't have enough domestic reserves to make a difference. By the time they are ready, it will be far too late anyway. In summary: too little, too late.
Blaming the fuel crisis on democrats and "greens" is idiotic. For one, "greens" warned of this eventuality years ago and were ignored. In general, they have been the only ones looking out for the interests of our environment and our important material needs (I am excluding Luddites and other extremists since they constitute a shrill minority with a voice disproportionate to actual influence).
Were it not for "greens", we'd be choking on air pollution and wondering where all the fish had gone. Their efforts at least made us aware of the need to incorporate sustaining efforts into our pell-mell consumerism. Your ire would be better directed at the presidents and congresses who have refused to push and implement a forward-thinking, robust energy policy. Need a hint who? Jimmy Carter was the last president under whom we had such policy. Reagan dismantled Carter's program and NOTHING close has been implemented since.
We need leadership on this issue, not rhetoric. We need an energy "Manhattan project". Where are the leaders to invoke such a necessary event? I don't see any in the ranks of republicans or democrats.

Thanks for the acknowledgment, monrio.
It helps that I'm heavily involved in the industry. ; )

Of course they have a choice, especially Nokia with its 40% global market share. Apple isn't infallible (google 'apple failures') so this hyperbolic talk implying Jobs walks on water and the iPhone will be completely destroying all comers is sheer nonsense (if the latter were true, Apple would have made enough iPhones for every current cell phone user). Yes, the product is successful and will be going forward (assuming Apple doesn't turn it into a RAZR) but claiming it's enough to obliterate established giants is beyond naive.
Nokia certainly has the breadth and depth to survive the iPhone, and then some. Take your rose-colored shades off and watch.

Sometimes I am amazed at the slathering naivete that appears in stock analysis articles. But commenter J Lazerow above got it right. Read and learn.
