The thing that bothered me most about this article was the suggestion at the end that the toper thing to do about the energy crisis was to 'put the peral to the metal' and 'drive more'! Really!!!!
No matter how perverse it may sound they might be right.
If there is more wasteful consupmtion when the crisis hits there will be much more time to go by just going on a diet... the difference is time - supposedly this will give us more time to find a way out. If it is not already self-evindent nothing will be commenced neither by the government, nor companies and individuals until they feel the heat with their own pockets.
