I don't think u have a very good handle on what the global consumption of energy is doing. Quite a statement given the limited content of my post but no need to dither, I don't claim to be an expert. But I do know that the biggest changes ahead will not be in how energy will be consumed but rather how it will be generated. Energy is work. The need for work generated will only increase and while it is unclear what the precise means will be, I also forsee a seachange in how that work is generated. Fuelcells, microturbines, solar, geothermal and possibly something not on the drawing board. I simply would assert that because of our capitalistic system that the technologies will be developed here. The production expertice which will mainstream these technologies will take place here. You will see from my post to flappy that the vehicle I own has actual utility value to my business. I don't have the luxury of being able to drive a Politically Correct vehicle. He asserts this makes me unpatriotic for getting >13 MPG. I have 2 small children that I transport frequently and the added safety is a tradeoff I can afford as well. Anyone claiming this makes someone unpatriotic is smoking dope.
