My great-grandfather used a horse powered wagon to go to town for supplies. One day, a local businessman confronted him telling him that if he would just purchase a motorcar(truck) the town wouldn't have to put up with his horses' manure in the street. He was told that his horse manure was a blight on the environment. In those days, combustion engines smoked and made enough noise to frighten livestock. A hundred and fifty years later, we have the (what I label) "Screamers" that predict the end of the world due to combustion engines. I've been told that I should purchase an 'lectric car to save the world. Suggestion: mind your own business and quit worrying about man's extinction that MIGHT occur in a thousand years. Man's been using fossil fuel for thousands of years, since the discovery of fire and we are still around. As a matter of fact, we have a larger population than ever. Don't worry about new ways to produce energy because private industry is always progressing. Just don't allow the Gov. to dictate how we "MUST" change because they do not have a clue. Their only motivation is money in their pockets at the expense of the citizens. Private industry has always been the real motivator for progress.
