My wife takes the West Trenton line in her commute.

I've had to rescue her by car when she's been stranded.

It would be wise to spend the money spent on blowing stuff and people on trains, but the problem is deeper.

The car CULTure is not sustainable in any form, but you would be amazed to see - I'm both amazed and depressed - how many times I've discussed clean and reliable primary energy on this site only to get a "what about cars" responses.

My head wants to explode.

The bourgeoisie cannot see beyond their provincialism, that is true across the political spectrum, regrettably on our side, on the left, as well as on the corrupt right.

Our popular energy ideas are appalling. We don't care what we destroy, and how little we leave for the future if it impacts our energy convenience.

At ten dollars per gallon, at twenty, gasoline is actually too cheap.

Speaking for myself, I can talk a good game, but if I seriously look in a mirror, I am not innocent by any stretch.
