[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] We need strong action from the government to make this work but individuals need to be realistic and support the changes necessary.[/quote]

What action? What changes? Be specific for God’s sake. [/quote]

Electric car subsidies to match the dollar amount that we subsidize oil for starters. Level the playing field instead of giving billions of dollars to oil companies that then gouge us in return. [b]Massive investment in high speed rail and local public transportation hubs.[/b] Efficiency regulations on all new household energy products.

The only reason all of the above has not been done already (which would have put us in a much better position at this time) is that Republicans have blocked every single step away from our dependence on oil. As for the average citizen, they need to get behind efficient technology instead of whining about it. Remember when everyone on the right fought against and complained about LED light bulbs?[/quote]

Please tell me all about your most recent ride on Amtrak or Metro.  Do you really think that throwing more money at their inefficiency and ineptitude will improve things?[/quote]

That’s just a lame red herring. We can have efficient and high quality public rail like Europe and Japan. Nobody wants to “throw money at their inefficiency”. Are you saying that we are incapable of operating public rail because we are Americans? We just cannot do it but other modern countries can?[/quote]
