Well done!!!

I just got the word that I pased the CLA re-certification exam.... after having submitted a LVOOP solution. Koolaid, it would take a gallon of jungle juice to cancel the effect of teh adrenalin I'm experiencing right now. Woot and double-woot! Ben PS: Discalimer! I am certain my LVOOP solution did not earn me a pile of points, but at least the LVOOP app did not LOOSE too many points.

I agree that our economy is disproportionally sensitive to world oil supply and I'd like to see that dependence reduced. At the same time, it doesn't make economic sense to replace oil with more expensive energy while the oil is available. I really don't think there is an easy solution to this. Mostly I just want there to be honest discussion about the impacts of various alternatives. Even if it is harming the environment, it's still the (pure) capitalist thing to do as long as people are willing to buy it. Capitalism only cares about the environment when customers do. It was a tongue-in-cheek commentary on common perception and the influence CO2 has had in public discourse. We created an entire industry and added hundreds of dollars to the cost of cars to cure the smog problem and what did we get? Global warming. What crisis is going to grow out of alternative energy sources?
