> [@vq30de](#): > > me? Its entirely possible to stop. Im going out on a limb here, but I think it may be Sweeden, or one of the Scandanavian countrues, which intends to be free of fossil fuels by 2015 or something like that. They are currently at something like 60% or something like that… Yes but you have to realize that the oil industry has a MAJOR role in the world economy. There is nothing in the store today that has not been effected by oil in some way. Yes we need to stop relying on fossil fuels, but to do so at the mass level that the US uses them is not possible right now. There are substantial efforts being made, but the process is still way too expensive and undeveloped to make a real differance right now. Bush has been pushing for the alternative fuels thing…not that I am trying to idolize him, I am just saying. I never said that Global Warming doesnt exist. I said it is not JUST human invalvement in the already ongoing natural process that is causing it, and many poloticians are using it as a backdrop for public image. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/its-about-damn-time/23301)._
