Stop looking for an alternative...
When I see a CGI elephant dancing in the rain I thought "that's an odd marketing approach...". When I realized it was the Gas & Oil conglomeration BP stopped thinking it was odd and started thinking it was funny. You see everyone knows that Global Warming is a hot button issue today and while there is only mountains of data to support the theory there is no Fact to prove it conclusively. I am sorry a computer model does not count as proof. If you worked with computers you would know that they are only as flawless as the people operating them. What is so funny is the subtlety of the word alternative. An alternative is an option and while I do not necessarily subscribe to global warming I do that to believe we will have petrol forever is ignorant. While I again don't want you to mistake my point for some sort of even more tenuous theory subscription to "Peak Oil". I don't subscribe to any theory exclusively. I am just saying to offer an alternative is to give a choice where people are not only highly unlikely to not choose but then those who do are going choose the alternative must bear the weight and responsibility of those who do not want to make the change. I propose that we no longer offer or even search for alternatives. I think we should be looking for replacements for global energy. We should be dumping copious amounts of money into things like nano-carbon filaments for power transmission across a global energy network.
