As I've said before, people in my area will not "vote" for Global Warming or Peak Oil...they will just reject it out of hand as some liberal plot against America. My WAG is that about 40% or more of the US population will actively oppose any efforts to mitigate the issue. This, combined with the opposition from the entities which have a vested interest in the status quo, assures us that a gradual powerdown is untenable in the US.

Of course no one will 'vote' for Global Warming (and I was about to abbreviate that as 'GW'- fine irony, hmm?) or Peak Oil. Those possibilities are both unnerving to say the least. Unfortunately, we're taking the 'monster in the closet' approach. Keep the door closed, and as long as I can't SEE it, we're OK.

As a kid, I loved listening to the stories my grandparents would tell. I simply couldn't fathom some of the things from the Great Depression. Their stories from WWII were equally fascinating. The notion of gas rationing, and 'drives' for various raw materials seemed quaint. Buying bonds for a greater purpose was curious.

Want to bet these things rear their ugly heads?

So far the only Global Warming apparent to many people in the U.S. is warmer and shorter winters. Many would vote in favor of that.
