US Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) writes: Personally, I would love to see oil stay high like it is – but not enough to break the economy – and let the economics continue to spur alternatives to enough of an unstoppable degree that even if the competition drives oil back down (not likely with china and india and oil nations themselves increasing demand), we have other choices. There seems delightfully a bewildering array of alternatives RIGHT NOW! solar, wind, thermal, tidal, safer nuclear, electricf cars, hydrauilic hybrids, better batteries, fuel cells, smart highways, SO MUCH! Why would anyone go back to singular reliance on stinky fossil fuels alone? I'll tell you why. Because that is what is familiar to people, and familiarity provides reassurance. It it humanity's most basic failing that we are frightened of the unknown, bewildered by the new, and seem to stop dead in our tracks when faced with minor obstacles. It takes us awhile to "figure things out" and to proceed. Don't believe it? Think... What happens at traffic signal intersections during a power outtage? It's Khaos, and we don't seem to Get Smart about it until we've managed to become more daring. Jerry aka LGO **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
