No need to do it until we have to.


We have to -now-. I could list a jillion reasons but it's late....
Have you ever seen the movie "Eric the Viking"? Remember the scene
where the island sinks?


Why leave the oil in the ground as long
as you can sell it.


Why bother punching holes in the ground for crud of diminishing
quality when you can manufacture synthetic substitutes that are
cheaper, more profitable, functionally superior, and better for the
environment?

At the risk of sounding like a Republican,

business follows the markets, and the current

markets are driven by the "buy-now-pay-later"

mentality of the current generation. So if you

want to change business priorities you need to
change consumer priorities. And cheap

gasoline has a higher priority than the

environment.

2.27 for reg. uneaded last week. As of this morning it's 2.13.

We just got dumped with a butt-load last night, way more than the amount
that was forecast. It's still snowing. And it's all heading East.
And which part of the world would you be in?

You know, but unless you say, no one else will.




Frank's up in the North West. Finally saw

snow yesterday morn and it melted within a

couple of hours here on Long Island. I see

Bush is finally admitting to the existance of

global warming but said **** all to the Kyoto

agreement. Big business has him in their

pocket. When will business figure out they can
make money protecting the environment?


Did you catch the snow in Malibu? It wasn't just a dusting. I saw a clip
of a plow in the Malibu Hills with plenty of snow on the sides of the
street. Did you see Gore's film? His slideshow depicts several glaciers
and mountain ranges over the years with a photo taken every 10 or 20
years up to the present. Unless the photos are doctored, the evidence is
overwhelming and frightening.
