It's Now 'Official': Ethanol Is a Scam [View article]
face it there are NO easy and convenient solutions to a very complex problem that mankind (not just americans) have built up over many decades. I do NOT advocate returning to cavemen-like lifestyle. However, severe and lasting cutback on energy consumption by private households, industry and govt is a must. NOW! And yes, it requires efforts and money and some sacrifices along the way. It requires not only cars taht use less fuel but it requires to use cars uch much less than is currently done. The same applies to airconditioning refrigerators, COMPUTERS! (ya know, the internet online gamers allover the world, for instance, use up tremendous energy. the internet itself is expected to use as much energy 23 years from now as the entire world population uses TODAY!) mankind has to learn and to understand that yes, there is a limit to growth and to satisfying eeach and every wish! 6 billion people (and rising) simply CANNOT have todays lifestyle of the leading world economies. It's about sacrifice, about cutting back, getting humble and find a different approach to living than ever-accelerating growth of each and everything. Or else we are all doomed. It's a very simple mathematical equation, actually, though solving the problems is complex and will take time and every dollar spent for subsidising idiotic non-solutions such as growing crops for fuel is a valuable dollar less for real solutions.
