When will we forget?

In the 70's after experiencing fuel shortages there was a wave of alternative fuel vehicles and alternative energy solutions... What happened to all this? Cheap fuel. That is the answer. We forgot when they lowered the prices and everyone started getting back to "normal" driving habits.

Here is a piece of interesting information. Way back when Jack Nicholson was hawking hydrogen cars... Here's video proof:



Seems it became unimportant after gas went below a dollar per gallon. Who cares about the environment once you can get around cheaply? Once the oil industry starts drilling in ANWR, starts drilling off our coasts, and converting oil from tar sands our gas will become cheap (in dollar figures but expensive in the environmental toll) again and maybe we can afford to drive that new Hummer we've been eying.

It seems this country forgets too easily...
