Solar panels on roof tops, early completion of the Three Gorges Dam, cutting coal consumption, there is a common thread of energy scarcity and environmental concerns within and beyond China. Just how bad is it and what can we do about it?

At the new years party where the younger man who did the windows all year gave the money to his father and his father said he was going to buy a new car with the money i kind of winced.

I guesse im one of the more paranoid folks when it comes to fearing the fossil fuel-oil crisis/pollution.

One of those facts stated was about Chinas growth when it comes to automobile usage..
Its rapidly increasing each year.
Seems the price of gas is having no effect on anyone.
What will it take for the majority of people on our planet to become globally minded about what to do? I dont know.. Hybrid cars will not be good enough. Im not angry at everyone for their lack of foresight or arrogance, but rather i fear for all of us.

On my personal level, I got rid of my car in the last year. The degree of how far I have to travel breaks into walking, riding my bicyle, or taking a bus.
