For Me: A MOST IMPORTANT WRITER , because he explains how the U.S.
kicks its oil addiction without wreaking havoc, chaos, and
discombobulation.
New cars would be made to utilize ethanol, menthanol, and conventional
gasoline in any combination percentage.
This would give U.S. fuel stations (convenience stores et cetera) the
time and the economic reason to add the fuels.
The author claims the technology of making such change to our vehicles
is now inexpensive ("$100"), no big deal.
It's not rocket science.
If the American people are told this concept, there is no doubt it
would get done.
I saw the author lecture on C-SPAN over the weekend.
NOTHING ELSE IS AS IMPORTANT TO ME, and before I die I wanna know it's
been achieved
I realize we've been hearing hype like this for 30-40 years, and thus
(imho) we are cynical and disgusted by the horseshit.
Imho, so, now it's that problem of overly "calling wolf," and not
believing how simply solved this prolonged nightmare and (imho) the
on-going
destruction of our economy, our vulnerable civilization (seemingly
going backwards currently), and thus our children's prospect of a
decent future.
If it's more horseshit, then I can't be shocked, because that's what
it's been since 1973 before some of ye were born.
I fear it's now too late, though don't tell anybody (that we're
perhaps hopeless/hapless)..
