If the majority of Americans would rather have better transit than put a man on Mars, whose priority should be followed? Sad to think that the spirit of exploration is just about dead. Sad to think that a bunch of nerds sitting around in a room guiding robots are what pass for adventurers these days. Even if the Elser-Mathes Cup stays unclaimed.... The only difference here is that you're asking Joe Average to be ready to give up his/her SUV (or at least keep it garaged a lot more) and they don't want to do it. No, what I'm asking is for a lot more - responsibility. That's what I said, Jim...Joe Average doesn't want to give up his/her SUV. To do so would be to take some responsibility for participating in helping the enviroment. That's cured by education. And it doesn't stop at the SUV-as-a-commuting-vehicle - there are lots of other opportunities to reduce consumption, resulting in eventual energy independence. What do you think of the energy density of hydrogen and it's effect on trying to convert to hydrogen vehicles? btw, did you see who the Democrats are running for VP?
