I'd encourage anyone to view pictures of the oil sands operation in Alberta to imagine what a full-scale effort to convert Pennsylvania and New England into another Saudi Arabia.

We have just enough oil in the ground to run the modern economy for one generation, after which the climate will be permanently altered and our children impoverished in the country our great-grandfathers built.

We have built a disastrous bar-centric civic infrastructure that should be dismantled before it does irreversible harm to the planet.

I'm afraid the automobile has become the ultimate Faustian bargain.

This generation is consuming and ultimately wasting more energy in one generation than every generation going back 200,000 years.

Cars are simply "assisted mobility devices" and their dependent owners are rapidly entering their twilight years, where they will require "mobility scooters", making them the first generation in history that was completely transported around by chemical energy... and their bodies show it.
