Thread Name: BS: Its Americas' oil?
Subject: RE: BS: Its Americas' oil?
I'm reading the book Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand right now, and it's really astounding for me to read about how difficult it was to get people to accept the automobile in the early years of the 20th century. It reminds me a lot of the current situation of getting people to accept the idea of alternate energy technologies. But as we know, the automobile did prevail. It was an idea whose time had come. So, too, with the new, sustainable, energy technologies. They are ideas that won't be stopped. Only slowed down a bit, perhaps.
