Still and all, the title of this thread is a giant leap. Hey, listen, I hate Hillary as much as the next guy, but that's not what she said.
I do believe that there are feasible ways to reduce our dependency on oil, if that's where we focus our energies. But I doubt very seriously that human beings have the ability to do anything at all to impact this planet in the long term. Nature is simply far bigger than we are.
And for that matter, human beings have proved themselves to be a resilient breed. If we make bad decisions on energy matters, decisions that make it harder for future generations to source energy, future generations will still find a way to survive. Lifestyles may change, yes, but we'll still survive.
And if global warming really is happening, guess what? We'll survive that, too.

Damn straight. What gets me is the enviro's "solutions" are bogus as hell. Even if kyoto happened it would be insignificant except for allowing india/china to continue to kick folks butts economically.
But it's more of a political movement than an enviromental. Even Blair has seen the light. The best way to handle global warming (if it's even occuring) is through technology, not shrinking pie enviromentalism.
