Let’s make sure that we build our community in such a way that we can minimize the amount of gasoline we use on a daily basis. This means effective planning and zoning and the provision of good pedestrian and bicycling facilities. I wrote about this recently on my website: http://www.gilsonforcouncil.com/?article=4e5b07685bf9c

We’re going to run out, and relatively soon, so instead of wasting time ruining the environment, and drilling for more and more of a finite amount of oil, why aren’t scientists REALLY working on alternative fuel?

Oh right, there’s no profit to be made on it.

The world has passed the peak of oil production at just the time when oil consumption is also rapidly expanding. We’re on the downward slope and have to find ways to use less oil for our energy supplies.
