As Justin observes it is important to think through our options because this could save us much energy and heartbreak. Often we as a society are presented with the option of doing energy intensive activity which will result in little programs and doing a less energy intensive activity which will result in great progress. In such situations the choice to be made is clear. Today, we are looking at a situation where conventional energy sources are rapidly disappearing and using them is creating global warming and international friction. The wise option is to look at alternatives to back up and replace the dsysfunctional ones we are now using. This is why I strongly recommend that the general public be educated and equiped to use practical cheap alternative energy sources such as bike power. Doing this would take little effort and expense, and pay big dividends in the future in terms of peace and prosperity.
