    Scratch my snark. That article is terrifying. One wonders just how in the hell we're ever going to pull off such a rapid and relatively immediate switch over from oil to another energy source. Christ! Everything around me running on oil. Damn humans and their wings of wax and feathers.

    @Airvault: Just live close to public transportation. That's the best advice I can give. People will flock to urban areas to shorten commutes and/or take the subway or bus to get around.

    Hey, Pareene, this was a shoddy post. You should have hit on:


    1. Pickens Plans in Texas was about water rights: [www.treehugger.com]


    2. How GM is fucking him over and making him take delivery on $2 billion dollars worth of turbines.


    3. How he's going have to stick $2 billion worth of turbines all over the country.

    The problem with wind energy is that it can be silent but deadly.

    Pickens made a lot of money with oil


    He made even more green mailing money out of oil companies. His hostile bid on Unocal in the 80s caused that company to abandon most of its costly synthetic and renewable projects - programs to which the company had been dedicating research since the late 50s.
