I'm not thinking natural gas because I am thinking long-term. I'm not thinking natural gas because it is another declining fossil fuel that will just further delay our necessary transition to renewable energy that will be required to prevent future blackouts. Through what we already know about alternative energy and energy efficiency, we could have transitioned away from Persian gulf oil over the last 40 years, while the rest of the world transitions away from fossil fuels. If we continue to sit on our butts and do nothing to provide our own energy, we will be left behind economically in the future.
So, you idea of a long term solution, is a government subsidized fuel, that will cause vehicles to get 34% less fuel mileage? :lamo
