If you don't like my solutions then post your own.

Either lead follow or get out of the way.

Already did that.

Biodiesel for farming.

LPG and CNG for cars.

Exploit the oil sands and shale oil when the price of oil stays high enough for long enough to make that economically
viable.

Convert coal to liquid fuel when the price of oil stays high enough for long enough to make that economically viable.

Replace coal fired power stations with nukes if you care about the CO2 emissions from power stations.

Heat houses with electricty from nukes so the LPG and CNG can be used as a transport fuel.

Generate hydrogen using nukes when the price of LPG and CNG is getting high enough to make that economically viable.

Dont bother with solar when on the grid unless its cheaper than power
from nukes and that has to allow for the fact that is mostly not available
when its most in demand in most modern first world countrys.

Use solar in some non grid situations like RVs running on biodiesel or LPG or CNG to run the engine.

re: what to do immediately, then asap thereafter

Immediately if not sooner, "explicitly incentivized" carpooling, which
i've pushef for ad nauseam, though here's it again, two-thirds down
the page

http://hometown.aol.com/__121b_jp62FVbkQiq65VmOdYqjhKor5EGWYhVZLB6sTLqP/Ciij9hJ3...==

T. Boone Pickens' natural gas conversions for trucks, busses, and
"goods carriers" appeals to me as something radical that can be done
for sure

Pickens' wind energy is ok by me too, tho "not in my backyard" people
do seem to hate the ugly esthetic and whiny noise

the apparently many universities that are concentrating on various
alternative energy ideas is GOOD

infrastructure improvements a-plenty

No need to do that, it will happen when the price of gasoline gets high enough.

Not practical with diesel engines.

No thanks, complete waste of time if you're on the grid.

Nope, makes a lot more sense to move to nukes instead.

"Oil price maintenance" is as constitutional as everything else, so
it's not per se a legalistic thing; thoough wouldn't the public de-
ball any politician that endorses such ?

though this article seems very sensible, it ain't gonna be, unless by
intellectual subtefuge thru p.r. with convoluted machinations

I'll have you know that phosphoric acid is good for roses which thrive
in low pH soil..

If some farmer balks at electric tractors I just pull out my team of
oxen and say, "go crazy."

Then I stagger around behind the oxen for a few minutes.

Then I tell them,

"Cheap oil = easy street"

"Expensive oil = full employment"

You can get middle school students to shut up with that one.

Oh look, another RepubliKKKan Turd with a sexual Fetish.

This one for water sports, and probably scat too.

So Pissboy ROD, if that is your real name.... Which do you like better,
EuroScat, AmeriKKKanScat, or JapScat?

Fatherland Security needs to know.
