Yes, people want CHEAP transportation. Economies thrive on it. The only thing people truely care about is the bottom line. What will it cost me? Bring that product to the market and their ecomomy will boom. Is that a bad thing? We can sit back and say "hey wait a minute, that isn't good for the environment" because we can afford to. We have an extremely weathly society. Even the poorest here are richer than the upper classes elsewhere. We have no right to police other countries trying to play catch up. All we can do is develope new CHEAP technologies that will lead us into the next generation of transportation. Hydrogen is not the answer. It is far too expensive to manufacture and store, plus a whole new infastructure has to be built for it. Who's going to pay for it? You? No, gasoline is not going away, not quite yet. As soon as we develope a product that is as cheap and widely available as oil, that is when things will change. As far as the impact on the environment goes, we are being scared into thinking that the world will end if we continue to burn oil. Not so, the carbon dioxide output of people does not even come close to the output of valcanoes. Global warming is a good thing. Warming trends throughout history have always been times of prosperity, wealth and growth for all plant life. The current conditions are being way overstated, and the impact will not be seen for many generations. Do I think we need to produce alternative fuel sources? Yes. More than ever, but that is only because we can afford to. Back off developing countries, we got here with oil, now let them do the same.

What is necessary is a change of paradigm in relating to the world and its resources, in the fair share of resources and wealth, in conceiving personal mobility (fat Westerners could learn NOT to drive a car for one mile to the next McDonald), and in values in general, lest that we don not transform the Earth in a sterile, polluted and dead agglomerate moving around the sun.
