[QUOTE="soberups, post: 555234, member: 14668"] No one is saying we have to stay at home all the time or give up any of our freedoms or liberties. We merely have to take a brutally honest asessment of our choices in regards to energy consumption, and the consequences they have wrought. My '06 Jetta TDI gets 40 mpg on biodiesel, made here in Oregon. It has climate control, heated seats, sunroof, cruise control, the works. I'm not "stuck" anywhere, if I want or need to drive somewhere I do it. I dont feel like I am making any sacrifices whatsoever to get that 40 mpg. It is a nice, modern, comfortable car with more power than I will ever need, and there is no reason why cars (or trucks) like mine cant become the norm rather than the exception. The freedom you speak of carries with it a responsibility to future generations that we are totally failing to live up to. We should not have the freedom to pass trillion dollar deficits and long term military occupations of oil-rich nations on to our grandchildren. We are making a big mess and expecting them to clean it up after we are gone. [/QUOTE]
