I beg to differ. Your "solutions" are right out of eco-nutcases "case book" of eliminating the automobile and forcing everyone into megalopolises.
"I dont think its economically feasible in the long-term to remain dependent on a fossil fuel. Theres a finite supply and an ever-growing demand. Maybe it will be fine for the rest of our lifetime, but Im trying to think further ahead than that."
And I agree. But we don't NEED a "long-term" fix TODAY. There are technologies coming on that will take care of the LONG-term (Nanosolar CIGS printed solar cells, Bussard IEC fusion, "cold fusion" (is looking more real every day), burner and breeder fission reactors) and more. There is no shortage of solutions to the LONG term problem if we can just shove the eco-fanatics back into their cages and quit following the meme that the only good technology is a banned technology. And may James Earl Carter rot in hell.
I don’t want to force anybody to do anything. I just want people to stop whining when gas prices go up and accept they’re only entitled to the lifestyle they can afford.
