If someone's making a buck off of it, or getting more power and control over people and business - indeed they do have a LOT to gain. No one can honestly say Al Gore hasn't made any 'gains' from it. I'd be much more apt to believe someone who isn't flying a private jet everywhere, leaving his limos idling for hours to keep them cool and buying 9 million dollars mansions, lol.

So yeah - I'm horribly cynical and if there's a core reason I'm cynical - look above at those links [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


And **Especially** - when corporations and government seem to go ON AND ON about something Ad nauseam and there seems to be a 'push' to make it 'trendy'.

Two other things REALLY bring out the cynicism in me: Government and 'Trends'.

Still - I think we most certainly have a responsibility to our environment and I certainly think we need to develop cleaner and more efficient energy - which brings me to the - maybe core reason I don't buy the hype... I really think cars could be 500 times more efficient than they are now.

Assume - just for the sake of debate - that a technology exists that would allow a standard V8 to get 200 Miles per gallon. Would the oil companies allow that?

So - science aside. I might really be inclined to believe the science in and of itself - it's the 'politics' and such surrounding it, that make me cynical.
