Originally posted by LockwithnoKey With any luck, it'll promote more logical uses of power in our forms of transport. Such as solar as well as the many energy generating forces on a traditional car. The rotation of the tires, friction of brakes etc. Some of these technologies already exist in limited part, but they'll certainly become more mainstream.
Steam power from water was always useful in the old days, why not today?
So many alternatives exist and more are being created all the time, we'll finally make use of them when the price for good ole petrol hits crazy digits like $10.
I foresee many things coming around again from the past when we had to be more creative to get around.
However, this is only if the world maintains some civility. Which of course is in limited supply these days. Unfortunately, I'm thinkin more along the lines that the pursuit of cheap fuel creating a war scarred planet will leave us with little need for the same form of travel that exists today. People will be partnered in local communities for both work and home. Those that wish to thrive and succeed when common world wide transport becomes quite limited will have no choice but to contribute to society.

Friday night, on the way home from work I got to thinking about what I could do when the price of gas gets too high to be worth my money. I live at the oposite side of the city where I work. The only solution I have is move near work so I can walk a few blocks instead of driving.

I think... we're being offered a solution slowly... because you forget that the ATS crowd represents an "enlightened" but relatively small portion of the populace of the world... and people become so dependent on things, that weaning people off things takes slaps on the hand... and in this case, slaps on the asscheek that carries your wallet.
I asked people at my job what they would do if gas prices went up a few dollars more, and NOBODY said they would stop driving. They would sacrifice almost everything they had, just to DRIVE to work. Wow.
Borderline insanity.
Strange times.

Well... I dunno who's offering us the solution... but I know they view it as screwing us over... but if this is what we need to WAKE UP!!! then it's a solution, albeit a harsh one.
Why does it always have to come to this in order for us to get it? Don't ask me. I just work here.

Haha but hey this polishing of the moon thing could infact be something to generate power at night.
The moon would be a giant mirror for the sun. I wonder what the effect would be

No it really is home made booze that they used many years ago and folks actually were thrown in jail for having it. Oh and by the way I am a she not a he. And that new ethanol they are making is about the same thing as moon shine. Its illegal for us folks to make it but the Government can make it and its a whole different story.

For what purpose that would serve I don't !!!!!!KABOOM!!!!!! know.
