Redshift Try to remove yourself from the present perspective and look at this situation lets say 200 years from now. What do you imagine the people of that time will say about this catastrophy from that end. Regardless of what any of us will say about who is running the show in oil right now the entire industry is driven by the demand of the people. The idea of invention is driven by the restrictions of our present technology. If we are forced to do without oil you can bet your bottom dollar that somone will come up with better ways for us to create the power we require to move forward. Looking at this whole picture from the outside the blame for the situation at hand belongs to anyone using oil right now, incuding myself. None of us will pay for the damage being done by using this oil. It will be our children, grandchildren and the many generations to follw who will have to pay for the mistakes that we are making right now. These mistakes are being made with a clear concience of knowing that oil is not the only answer to our power needs.

This world will end at some point due to the natural order of things. That end could be 100 years or 1million years, but if we continue to poison our own planet that end will come much sooner and at the hands of the human race as a whole.
