I think the world should start seriously looking into "green" and ways to cut back on global warming. But the problem is who knows what's true and what's not. There are stories that ethanol is worse than gas. And if ethanol costs just as much if not more and gets less gas mileage, then most people will just ignore it. The bottom line is people worry about putting a roof over their head and feeding their families before anything else. And therein lies the problem with most of the 'green' philosophy. The infamous Al Gore has private jet rides and isn't exactly 'environmentally friendly' in everything he does. Travolta preaches about it but drives a Jet. The hybrid cars aren't exactly safer and sure aren't exactly that much friendly at this point. As far as solar energy it's just far too expensive for most people. It's nice that Google spent so much time and money on Solar energy for their complex in California, but a billion dollar company spending millions won't mean much to somebody struggling to pay their bills. And therein lies the problem with most people who push the green agenda or push green technology. It seems they don't live in the real world. Yes we need to find a way to stop Global Warming and become more environmentally friendly but it seems people who push the agenda don't exactly live what they preach. And until that happens, most people will ignore it. It's like the parent who tells their kids not to drink or do drugs, yet are in the living room stoned and passed out with beer cans all over the place. When the message is tainted, people have a hard time believing it or listening to it. And right now Mr. Al Gore is the infamous preacher for Global Warming yet the guy isn't exactly living what he preaches.
