Snowshoe, Re: Ray, ironic that you of all people would cite a necocon wingnut like Peter Huber. I do not regard Huber as a wingnut. He's a selfish bastard, by all means. But a sane one. And very, very smart. While Little Lord Fauntleroy in the Mystical White House pontificates about the coming "Hyrdogen Economy" (by which he means more hot air than ever), Huber gave a recent presentation at the Harvard Club in New York stressing the obvious. Huber said that almost the entire automotive fleet on the planet will be "hybridized" by the year 2015. We don't have a choice, and we don't have to worry about the automotive industries of the planet adapting themselves to the new reality of expensive crude oil. I have read "Hard Green" and found it to be informative, well-argued and basically decent. Huber is not a profligate wastrel like George Bush. Huber attempts to make sense of the various superstitions held by the more irrational members of the environmental movement. I came away from his book with a healthy skepticism about some of the more rabid "sky-is-falling" pronouncements by the enviros, particularly regarding their utterly irrational and uneducated fears about nuclear power. I'll order "The Bottomless Well". It should prove to be an invigorating read.
