My point is:
People will not STOP driving!
No matter how much we want that to happen,
No matter how much we need it to happen,
No matter how much we know it should happen,
It won't happen.
So do we continue on the path of pursuing driving celibacy, hoping and wishing that it happened? Or, do we address what we can do immediately and not have our children debating the same issue 20 years from now because Plan A was a flop? In the 1970’s we had the answer; Stop driving. Thirty plus years later that plan still hasn’t materialized. But had we adopted fuel saving measures instead of “I’m Grog, Must have big SUV that drinks gas like Woolly Mammoth drinks water”… this debate wouldn’t be happening…..
