God has provided us with massive amounts of stored solar energy, in the form of fossil fuels. This has lifted us out of filth and squalor.
Unfortunately we squander it with a ridiculous and wasteful lifestyle which costs huge amounts of time, and makes everyone miserable.
I do all of my travel by bicycle or mass transit, unless I have no other options. Why would I want to get in a mess like that? Tens of millions of people travel to the office every day, and sit in their cubes working on a computer. Why couldn’t they have done that from home three days a week?
We have been blessed with huge reserves of clean burning fossil fuels. We should leave some for our children.
