I have to agree that Carlin has some pretty good wisdom hidden in that comedy...

Now back to where we were discussing... So... since there is currently no replacement for fossil fuels within a reasonable economic structure, do you expect it to stay that way? What I'm getting at, is do you feel that because the other options are so expensive today, that it will kill the economy to have to move to them? Or will we just continue to plod our way towards destruction... without any change at all?

If there is to be a change, who has to initiate it? Government? General Public? The rich guys like Ed Begley Jr.?

I'm not trying to sound overly cynical... and I'm trying to keep an open mind here, so I'd like to continue this discussion and see what comes from it.
