It's attitudes like this that prove Americans are neither ready nor willing to make the necessary changes that will have the greatest impact in controlling a) climate change, b) energy independence, c) energy conservation, d) reducing carbon emissions, take your pick. Americans would rather do the smaller, easier things that have less of an impact, like changing a light bulb. Even then, not every one is jumping on the "let's change to CFLs" bandwagon. Gas prices topping $3.25/gal.? No problem. What is really needed is a major change in attitude on the crisis-level scale of things. Last time something that big of a change in attitude took place was in the early 1970s with the rise in gas prices. Now that's not even enough. What will it take? Something on the scale of World War II, where everyone pitched in to conserve not only gas, but food, rubber, paper and metals? Hate to be the one to say it, but I think that's minimum level of urgency needed to get the sheeple to wake up and start doing something meaningful.
