Europe's got the right idea. France is 80% nuclear, Germany's got solar panals on all the roofs. And their public transportation system puts ours to shame. Not to mention they don't have suburban sprawl like we do, so most people ride their bikes everywhere.
Old and wise said:Yes, their public transportation is second to none. I have used it in Germany and it is absolutely amazing, especially the trains running from one city to another. We are so far behing in this country in transportation, it is pityful.
Somehow I just can't picture anyone used to driving a gas guzzling SUV riding a bike to work or to the store. These people have compounded our dependence on oil and I would love to see every SUV in this country crumble into a heap of rust.
I can imagine the mess that our next President will have to deal with. Maybe nobody will want to run for the office.
