Well, we have a misunderstanding here because I don't count on the energy companies for shit.
They are in the business of supplying you with gasoline, and why would anyone expect them to know anything about any other form of energy?
They take the oil out of the ground and fill a demand. You and me create the demand. Why would anyone expect oil companies to know shit about alternatives?
If you want to know who to blame it's easy. Go look in the mirror.
All of us are to blame and none of us are to blame. Oil is there and it's getting used up. Nobody knows what else to use.
That is that.
Government can provide leadership and force a reduction in consumption but in the end the result will be the same. No more oil, no more cushy standard of living, lots of wars and all that.
No government anywhere on earth has done anything to alleviate that situation. None.
There simply is no other alternative to oil and natural gas, both of which will mostly be gone by the end of this century.
Only Liberals would look to the government to invent anything besides taxes and misery anyway. If an alternative comes, it will come from the private sector and not the government.
I don't believe it will happen but miracles do take place.
