Sure hydrocarbon fuels cna be extracted from tar sands, coal, etc. but at what costs? It wasn't cost effective in the '70's and it isn't cost effective now. To extract energy sources from hard fossil fuels requires as much energy as they yield.

Surely the worm will turn in twenty-five years. Be that as it may, irresponsible coders in the here and now may well regret their indiscriminate coding when brought to the bar. It has been shown time and again a conviction isn't necessary to bring someone to their knees. Financial ruin accomplishes the same thing when it drags the families of the offenders through the same knot-hole. Sometimes even the winners lose, can your future utopia be well worth the present dilemma?
A policy change is not needed to affect the way environmental resources respond. Education is paramount. Wait and see time should be over. That the world as a whole requires a change in attitude about what is important is evident. Who is going to make the first sacrificial step in diminished quality of life, or personal comfort if you will, is the question to be addressed. You can bet your bippy it sure wont be people with monetary resources available (read, us ugly Americans).
Since dad upgraded to this 600 mHz Athlon, my time online gives me more quality time than when we had the ol' dx2-66. It's a real screaming scroller and dad says he'll sell it to me cheap when my paper route grosses $1200 in a month. Talk about easy upgrading, and I won't have to worry about frying the cpu.
Well gee, just yesterday at Linux.com I read where RedHat Tux(?) outperformed NT by a factor of three. Could be someone should just get some level ground to benchmark.
Having all these wonderful suggestions to deal with the problem at hand it is the next step that may be more important. My dad always says: one good lawyer is worth a whole bucketful of warm-fuzzies. Regardless of the decision get one of those hungry young suckers that will take a little stock for a fee to engineer the best way to do what ever is decided.
It isn't news it's ancient history, the whole argument boils down to one thing; responsibility. Uncle Sugar is trying to legislate it because mom and dad wont use it to show right and wrong to us. The Sunday school teacher talks about responsibility but there is nothing to hang the examples onto; why shouldn't we do what we want, nobody cares about what we do.
