Definitely worth considering! At the same time, looking at human nature is amazing: I know I'm generalizing, but we have to have our backs to the wall and they're tying the blindfolds on us before we're inclined to do anything. For example, how quickly we forgot the oil crunches--the lines at the pump, the price increases--of the '70s, and when the auto industry began pushing SUVs, vans, and so forth, so many bought into it. Only now with gas at $4/gallon is there rethinking, and now that it's at $4 with people griping but not doing much about it, what's to stop it from going to $5, $6, $7? Where does it end? Boy, if we could turn off television in the country for 72 hours, THEN you'd get people out in the streets! IMHO....
