What are the solutions to our mounting energy crisis?
We all know gas prices are high. I think they will only get higher, save some dips in the off-season. The issue is all the energy we use, not just our cars. Some say alternative fuels. Is it possible to simply switch over to ethenol? No. Should we be thinking about the way we live, our infrastructure, public transportation, how far and often we drive?
The cost of heating and cooling our homes will also continue to rise. Is there significant wind and solar technologies as an alternative? Nuclear, coal, hydro? What do you think?
The market will solve the problems. When we really DO start running out of oil, coal and natural gas the price will go up (believe me, $3 per gallon will seem cheap). This will force conservation of fossil fuels and the development of alternative fuels. The market will solve these problems faster and better if it is left alone by governments.
