Why keep looking for reasons not to save on fosile fuels?

How about:

1) Stop being dependent on instabile regions of the world.
2) Stop being in debt with instable countries.
3) Stop polution.
4) Lower the smog in cities that cause many deaths, and have a serious
impact on health insurances.
5) Fosile fuels will eventually dry up. Think about the possibilities
for economics that already work with alternatives.
6) Due to the above, fosile fuels will increase much more in price.
Alternative fuels will actually be more economical.

And if you think well you can easily come up with more reasons to reduce
fosile fuels. Stop parroting the oil-producers I say.

Argh I did it, I made an off topic post. At least its one I hope will
make a difference and get some people to think. Even if its only one
(but then again, I have no illusions!).
