Consider that we are doing our world a favor by using up the oil as fast as
possible. When oil is really, obviously running out, we will get serious
about alternative fuels, including solar. If the sun dies, we all die. But
as long as the sun shines, we have unlimited energy. Tell me what's the
hurry.

As for global warming, this planet has cycled for a longer time than we
have kept records. Glacial periods, interglacial periods, glacial periods,
etc., etc., etc. Big deal. Live with it.
