Reply #23: Gas and Oil is not an addiction

[Armstead]

It's a necessity. Sorry, but being able to heat our homes and drive is not a luxury in present society.

In the longer term we ought to come up with ways to reduce energy, use renewable sources, all that good stuff.

But it aint gonna happen soon, and in the transition phase people need those things to live our lives.

people should not be punished for the failures of government and the corporate sector to provide alternatives.
