The problem is that
we will do absoultely nothing until the last drop of gas
is burned in a
combustion engine and everything grinds to a halt.
Only
then will a US
President get the bright idea of starting an alternative
energy

In todays world, we

your colors/ Oil
This thread has reached the absurd limit
of imagination.
I'm in the oil business and have been
since 1955.
Many years ago (remember the oil crisis
and the lines at
the service stations) our concept of what
was needed for
transportation changed and to my mind for
the better.
Today, we are using vehicle on the
highways and streets
to transport ourselves and our kids that
can in no way
be considered reasonable.
Fuel cells WILL some day become the
energy source for our
transportation but it will not be in our
current menagerie
of SUV's and Kickup trucks.
Regardless of what we do to encourage the
exploration of
energy sources in this country WE CANNOT
FROM THOSE SOURCES
USING OUR PRESENT FORM OF TRANSPORTATION
COME ANYWHERE CLOSE
TO MEETING THE STUPID NEEDS OF WHAT OUR
AFFLUENT CITIZENS
FEEL IS NECESSARY FOR SIMPLE
TRANSPORTATION.
FACT: Until someone comes up with a
cheaper source of
energy than oil we will be stuck with
doing whatever is
necessary to maintain our need for
such.
Granted I am nearly as big an offender as
the rest of us.
My wife drives a 1990 Buick with a 3.8
liter engine that
gets <FONT face="Courier New"
size=2>about 18 mpg in the city and I'm more stupid in that
I <FONT face="Courier New"
size=2>drive a 1995 Cadillac STS with an engine that is big
enough to propel a locomotive and
only gets 9.8 mpg in
the <FONT face="Courier New"
size=2>city (almost 30 on trips but how often do I do that).
Energy for transportation goes far in
that our
infrastructure for the supply of this is
oil based and
to change that if difficult and will
require time.
If we simply cut the size of vehicles
(non commercial) to
the point where they supplied needed
transport and not
the weaponry for highway warfare they do
now we could
ALMOST rid ourselves of outside
dependency.
