>relies on oil in an unhealthy way You've got me there. That's what I started doing in the late 1970's :) >I'd suggest a closer look at that. That's one thing I have been doing in real-time since the 1960's, you should have seen how bad it already was before the oil shock. Oil shock was just the nail in the coffin. I made sure I could do a lot of unique things with oil & gas ever since. Would never have done that if things hadn't gotten so bad, I was into alternative energy. Still spent most of my time with chemicals anyway, for one thing they aren't cheap enough to burn for fuel and that makes a big difference, even if many of them are more toxic than petroleum itself. There's always been more money in oil though, because there's so god damned much of it :\
