To me the most sensible thing is to raise gas prices up gradually so that our society has the time to adjust. And yes, our current politicians are too wrapped up in their own egos to have any sort of long term view on how to solve any of our society's problems. I fear the shock of $200 a barrel oil. We are at $120 now, and it is being somewhat managed, but $200...especially if we duke it out with Iran...our recession could turn depressing.infocydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717475066074726136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-1145572379319682702006-04-20T17:32:00.000-05:002006-04-20T17:32:00.000-05:00Ummm, OK...

Brazil already showed us it works, and it fits in with our existing scheme of gas-stations. Retrofitting cars and gas stations to dispense/consume ethanol instead of gasoline is no big deal.peterbromberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173639411723574123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-1145494348023286722006-04-19T19:52:00.000-05:002006-04-19T19:52:00.000-05:00Personally, I ride my bike to work once a week.

Immediate solutions other than cycling are revitalization of AMTRAK ( curiously neglected) and rapid development and deployment of hydrogen fuel cell technology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430866.post-1145494106690316702006-04-19T19:48:00.000-05:002006-04-19T19:48:00.000-05:00: ): )High Power Rocketryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537203640644706903noreply@blogger.com
