"I think you are right most people aren't will to change, so why bother. Lets continue to use fossil fuels and not worry about tomorrow. Drink, eat and be marry; don't be concern. "
Actually, I kind of agree with you and was playing devil's advocate. Oil prices will change beahvior a lot more than lectures in sweaters will. We should be concerned, not because we will run out of oil (we wont), but because the oil lies under some other countries soil where paying for it is unhealthy for our peace and prosperity.
I'll tell you one thing that is absurd.
All the Democrats want to 'invest' in alternative energy. Well, the Republicans pass a bill doing that: money for ethanol, wind mill farms, solar, hybrids, etc.
What do the Democrats do? They complain about the cost of the tax breaks!
You know what is worse? The cost is $1 billion a year in direct spending.
And we just left $900 BILLION WORTH OF OIL IN THE GROUND IN ANWR!!!
In other words, enough to pay for the next millenia of our 'fuel cell car' initiative. ... or enough to build 1,000 nuke plants and end fossil fuel use for electricity.
... or enough to make the whole US car fleet hybrids
... left it in the ground.
You tell me if we are really serious about energy, when we leave $900 billion worth of energy in the ground just to avoid putting wellheads on frozen tundra.
