unfortunately, despite your inflammatory rhetoric about ’evil capitalists’ etc, there is a core of truth in what you say. The high cost of fuel will inevitably make us more dependent on efficient public transport, put airtravel (once again) out of the reach of ordinary citizens, make us more insular, parochial and protective of our homelands and revert to nationalism, tribalism and arrogance of centuries ago. Big changes to come, but can we cope with it? don’t know really. i’m just glad i got to travel a bit when the opportunity was there... and got to drive a few fast cars and used the internet.
