You are right, we need to stop our addiction to Oil and find another solution. As for running cars, well a village in Wales (I believe) came up with the perfect solution. They used normal oil for their local chip shop. It was made using a crop rather than fossil fuels. Another benefit was instead of the horrid smell of petrol fumes the whole village smelt of fish and chips.

The government soon put a stop to that though, for the simple fact that they weren't making as much tax on it as they wanted. Why would people go out and buy petrol at such stupid prices when they could go to their local supermarket and get a bottle for about 30 pence. Or even better, use the filtered left overs from a chip shop?

If our government was serious about saving the environment and at the same time saving our future then they would make this sort of thing legal. Nothing will change until people stop thinking about profit and products and start thinking about our future.

The news of this new power station that dragonfx talked about is good but as I said before 2060 is past the point on no return and action needs to be taken now. Climate change isn't going to wait for us the make decisions and set targets. It's not going to wait for us all to wake up and start changing the way we live from day to day.

That is why the problem is so hard the solve, because it involves everybody using less and giving up some of the luxuries we have all become comfortable with.

We have the technology to do the right thing but there are still a few powerful dinosaurs that are resisting that change that is needed. What they are forgetting in their blind ignorance is that climate change will get everybody, even them.
