Well tell you the truth Schroeder i'd rather pay to clean up the mess later than throw a bunch of money away now on schemes that will not solve the problem, which is basically what the human caused global warming believers are asking everyone to do. Let Algore and his kind make their money some other way.

So either way we will have to change something and it will cost us. There simply is no keeping status quo, at least not unless someone finds a way to power our cars and planes with an endlessly available, clean and cheap fuel.
We will have to adopt to new technology to get away from oil before it gets unaffordable no matter whether you believe in Global Warming or not. It will also make us more independent from some rather unstable regions in the world that are making fortunes in delivering oil to us right now.
I see your point but i'd say that a much, much higher priority would to get world human populations stabilized at sustainable levels or which fuel we use to power our cars will not matter at all.
