Jim,

Weren't these incentives tied to the tax code? Seems to me a lot of them were a joke. Even some of the programs continue to be bottomless pits. What about hot fusion?

Hot fusion is the only viable long term energy source. We better hope that someone figures it out.

I realize what YOU do is very important but how do you convince everyone else to stop traveling because what they are doing isn't AS important?

Airplane travel is very important, because there is no substitute. The same goes for other oil uses like plastics. On the other hand, the amount of oil people waste commuting to work is mind boggling. If they coordinated the traffic lights in Silicon Valley, that single act could reduce oil consumption by 50%. How about telecommuting? I do 50% of my job by video conference.

There are many very simple solutions to the near-mid term problems. We are wasting a precious resource due to simple ignorance.
