A Big Pile of Garbage
It may surprise you to learn that to some degree I was being facetious in these posts. I don't, for example, actually favor selling the military to the oil companies -- I see no reason why we shouldn't just maintain the current long term lease agreement. On the other hand, I don't want you to get the impression that I wasn't serious about my solution for the depletion of natural resources. It seems to me that alternatives are called "alternatives" because they're not your first choice. You can't just make solar power the sensible choice just by believing in solar power any more than you can make Suzy Jenkins your first choice for your prom date by drinking an entire bottle of raspberry schnapps. People burn coal and oil because, generally speaking, burning coal and oil makes sense. And Suzy was free that night because she's a fugly skank. Reality, like Suzy, is a bitch.
