because oil lobbyist saw to it that the american people continued to depend on it, rather than putting the money into the research and implementation of cleaner forms of energy. oil companies make no money when everyone is using windmills and battery powered cars. as long as he’s been in office, bush is just now starting to admit that global warming is even real.

Fossil fuels have been relatively cheap for the last two hundred years. Only recently has the true cost been appreciated. Until the greenhouse gas problem was discovered, nobody assumed that there was any cost to dumping carbon dioxide into the air. That is, the fossil fuel users have assumed that the disposal of the exhaust gases was free.
The other point is that a lot of the renewable sources of energy require high technology, e.g., hydroelectric dams, advanced windmills and solar electric generating systems.

Humanity as a whole doesn’t have long-term vision, so will use whatever is cheapest until it becomes painfully obvious that another alternative will be cheaper in the very near future.
Fossil fuels have been historically cheap. People WILL switch, when they get more expensive relative to other forms of energy. This must happen eventually, as the supply of fossil fuel is limited. When gas goes to $10 a gallon, a lot more people are going to go for alternate-fuel vehicles.

Today, yes. Because man failed to see today’s scenario in the past. Somehow I think our thinkers have already awakened to the painful reality that the middle east oil wells are bocoming shallower each day. All sorts of possibilities are being explored. I hope we all hurry up before the mid east
decide to declare war with the west using their oil.
