Re: "Embrace clean, renewable energy" S. Radar, PG Citizen Mar 17.
Imagine the world with no oil. Riding horseback, no trips to Mexico, no foods except what we grow, hauling and burning wood for heat, living like Troglodytes, swatting flies, wearing the same skins for a month and stinking like a pig.
It's time to embrace that?
Not for me or anyone I have talked to.
Oil is a benefit we all enjoy and it brings with it all the present comforts ,communication, entertainment and most every gadget we know of. It is the only reason we are not in the economic toilet. Almost everything in my life is dependent on "dirty fossil fuel". I'm betting it's the same with Mr. Radar but if he's willing to give up the finer luxurious lifestyle we live - so be it. Please stop telling me what's good for me and dump the ridiculous rhetoric. Wind energy, geothermal and solar energy are all dependent on the oil industry and they are completely dependent on weather patterns. There is no energy system on Earth that can compare with the astounding amount of energy given off by oil, which at present, cannot be duplicated. Learn to live with it or revolutionize what we have.
