I think this whole fossil fuel thing has gotten way out of hand. Everyone is coming up with excuse after excuse to hike the prices on coal and oil. It's actually getting to the point in my area that unless your vehicle gets over 30 mpg you won't be able to afford to go to work. Electricity is just one facet of the same thing. People don't want to use nuclear because of the disaster if there is another 3 mile island, they don't want to use wind because of the amount of space it takes and the only real place you can do it is in a desert or on a plain (which is the western U.S.), solar panels cost a lot to set up and maintain, conservationists don't want us blocking the rivers with dams, so that leaves good old pollution causing fossil fuels that no one wants to use because "it's destroying the ozone". You can't win from the way I see it. Oh and just for added measure, if we didn't cut down so many trees to build these $350,000 homes that no one can afford and subsequently not buying the damage to the environment wouldn't be nearly as drastic..........sorry. I feel better now.
