#15 Iff the Perts are going to be saying or arguing that there is no real "Peak Oil" or Other "Peak" crisis/crises, i.e. that the US-World have more than enough resources for a long long L-O-N-G while to come yet, then no one should be surprised iff Amer car affecionados are unwilling to give up efficient fossil fuel-based systems.
[MIGHTY HOMER SIMPSONIAN "DOH"! here].
VICTIM(S) OF THEIR OWN ARGUMENT + PREMISES.
This is a major reason, in part, why I argue the US needs = M-U-S-T go back to the Moon [ + beyond] ASAP AMAP, as opposed to unilaterally idling our Space Progs in deference to the Space Progs of our Overseas Allies + International Community. WE ARE DETRIMENTALLY [intentionally?] DELAYING OR OBSTRUCTING THE TIMELY/PROPER DEV OF FREE "SPACE MARKETS" [Space/Star Capitalism = Free Trade] THAT WOULD JUSTIFY THE DEV OF VALUABLE EARTH-BASED "GREEN TECHS" + RELATED.
As things stand there is no genuine or valid free market(s) Consumer-Industrial need for "Green Techs" in lieu of traditional or contemporary fossil-fueled systems, + LIKELY WON'T BE UNTIL SOME TIME AFTER 2050 AT THE EARLIEST.
To paraph Krauthammer = SAY IT WID ME, AMERIKA, WE M-U-S-T RE-START OUR SPACE PROGS + GO BACK TO THE MOON + BEYOND IFF WE WANT MARKETS FOR "GREEN TECHS"! |
Automakers are coming under increasing pressure to sell zero-emission vehicles to U.S. consumers who haven't shown much interest in them, with more states following California's lead in setting sales targets.
