Kinda like getting mugged, then giving the mugger a ride across town to visit his girlfriend...

That's the same short-sighted thinking that got us into this mess in the first place.

Well then, get out and walk. I'm so misinformed I guess; you still drive to work in your gas guzzling kraut cars...?

It could be a phenomenal year , every year if we decentralize our energy infastructure. I'm talking about solar and things like that and not pumps, utility lines and monopolies.

Sounds to me like what you're really after is free energy. Good luck with that. Whenever you're ready go ahead and build your solar oven box to cook your hot dogs and power Star Trek on your 10" black and white set.

I have been walking to work for 15 years, drive 5,000 miles a year - mostly to the golf course. I practice what I preach - freaky hey?

Very fortunate for yo or very good planning by you!.I've tried bicycling to work but the route is so dangerous that it's not worth it. A shame really cause it's only 18 miles.

Thom-
It's no more short sighted than people preaching "save the world through alternative fuels" on a freaking motorhead board, where half the people drive race cars and MFI fuel guzzlers. And, may I add: THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE!

You could make almost as much money in T-bills.
