And the truth is, you should include your last statement as also
unrealistic. True as it may be, fighting consumerism is a losing
battle. People are too selfish.

If we planted corn wall to wall throughout the corn belt of the U.S. we
wouldn't be able to replace our _current _addiction to petrochemicals
plus we would have to fertilize using the missing petrochemicals. The
only solution that I see to peak oil reality is to find alternatives to
our energy use, get rid of the individual vehicle, use passive solar
heat for you home, stop flying, buy within your bioregion and etc. It
means a major shift in life style and expectations - nothing else is
realistic.

How to Beat the High Cost of Gasoline. Forever!
Stop dreaming about hydrogen. Ethanol is the answer to the energy
dilemma. It's clean and green and runs in today's cars. And in a
generation, it could replace gas.
