"Imagine if we changed the big story so that we stopped thinking of cars and trucks and planes and trains as vehicles to get us from one place to another, and started thinking about vehicles as 'life boats' to keep us afloat while we rapidly solve the problem of lowering carbon levels that threaten our survival.
Imagine if we changed the big story so that it was about that all American talent of fashioning inelegant but beautifully functional solutions to urgent problems.
Imagine if every school in American had a contest to this end, if every TV network covered the race to solve the problem, if every politician talked about their proposals to meet the goal, if every carpool, if every water cooler, if every dinner table came alive with chatter about the best and fastest way to put the square peg of our technological resources into the round hole of our energy needs--and thereby solve the singular problem of our age."

What a wonderful story of American potential....
We had a chance in the 70s to move in a new direction, let's hope we take more of an advantage of this one.....
I did like Drew's segment...
And not much to say about Greg, his reporting on Oilraq has been outstandingly refreshing and very informative.....
Thanks,
