The Coming Mystery Of The Missing Barrels Of Oil

I think you guys are right on about this. There are people in Washington who know about it too. Somehow as we have approached the cliff they seem to have gotten quieter and not louder. The only way the US survives this, in my opinion, is a massive investment in wind and solar and a new grid to get the energy to the people, then run the cars on natural gas and upgrade mass transit bigtime and improve CAFE standards by significant percentages every year for at least the next decade. Unfortunately Americans have still not suffered enough from our way of life to make those insightful decisions feel very necessary. Based on what you have shown here such painful incentives will not be far off, but by then most of the actions will have proven too little and too late. To make a difference we need the money that went into TARP (to almost no effect btw) to be diverted into Boone's plan and subsidies for local and regional mass transit with campaigns encouraging their use, we need the Tata Nano, we need 35 mpg average and that was yesterday.

'till we meet in that ash covered world of the future.
