In all seriousness, as I sit at this computer, I wonder how many people realise that their treasured way of life - of expensive, fuel burning cars, plastic city, energy burning plasma screens and extravagant electric gadgets - is due to change more in the upcoming decades than they could ever imagine. More, I wonder how ready for change they are.
The one constant in this life is change, but people are afraid of it and will fight it beause they feel safer with what they know. This may push people to the limits and what I find more surprising is that the government isn't planning ahead.

The evidence is there, it's been there for the last thirty years or more, and the governments don't plan ahead, and I don't understand it either...
I'm hoping within the next few years to convert my car to using restaurant vegetable oil as fuel, something I've heard quite a few people do.
Off topic: are you on goodreads.com? If not, you should be... All writers and avid readers should be. It's awesome.
Hmm, yes I've heard of people converting their cars as well. I think there's a company over here that do it. It would certainly help...until everyone starts using them!! But that would be a long way off yet.
I've not actually heard of goodreads.com, I will check it out. Thanks K!

Hmm... when I was at school they said we'd run out by the year 2000. Not sure about running my car on vegetable oil, I have some friends who tried biodiesel and they said their car smelled like a chip shop!
Doesn't sound like a very reasonable estimate for the running out of oil does it, not when considering that the peak of oil production was last year.
I don't think I'd like a car smelling of a chipshop, but perhaps as technology improves, the smell can too?!
