Reply #12: There is a super hyway running across the Pacific

[catmandu57]

Cargo ships by the thousands, 24 hours a day bringing goods from factories in Asia. Goods that were once made here, we bitch about the behemouth suvs on our hyways, and they are but a small part of the energy consumption picture.
Highly visible, but it's things like this people aren't thinking about that's going to do us in. All the energy being consumed by Asian economies, the increasing demand for limited lifeblood, it's a real problem and people are whistling past the graveyard.
The mal-warts and other big boxes will feel the bite first, but, unless we change our ways it's going to cheney us all.
