Oh Revi, of COURSE you do. Your unshakeable faith in church teachings has never been questioned in any place I've bumped into you.

It would have been nice if anything at all was done back in the early 2000s.
It was. Look at what you did, building your own EV. I'm lazy, I waited until the 2008 peak oil caused car manufacturers to build me a peak oil solution, but you Revi are OG when it comes to this stuff. Plenty was done by some, even more by folks like you. Creating movies, get mom and other family involved, pitching it to the local churches and neighbors, I mean those known for just blogging like Gail and some of the TOD retreads are lillyputian compared to you.

Oh, the 2008 recession slowed crude oil growth. The global peak oil in 1979 lasted for what, 15 years before we began using and producing that much again? I think the world needs a good blood letting in the energy industry, zap the consumers hard, get more folks into EVs, solar panels for everyone, build some nukes, keep producing more natural gas than anyone else on the planet and exporting it willy nilly. Supply and demand will balance at some price or another, and folks will make their micro economic transportation decisions, and most likely when all is said and done, more people will be like you and me than those neanderthals burning a valuable chemical feedstock for nothing more than to take johnny to little league practice.
