FF ENERGY TO THE RESCUE

I'm *slowly* getting to internalize Gail's point (if I even am getting it) that oil producers need higher prices.

I think it can be done.

Society needs to support the fossil fuel industry. In an organized way. Not just left up to market forces. Dense fossil fuels taken from existing mines, and compensated at a higher (boutique) rate.  That arrangement obviates the complexity in making new stuff meant to take the place of fossil fuel products.

So how do we get a critical mass reoriented to see that FFs, far from being the worst things, are the best things? You can do more with less environmental destruction, including less deforestation.

What would seem to be needed is to spread FF use out laterally instead of continue the vertical way of current use. First world countries need to hit the pause button and all the rest need to use more FF...in a targeted way that is much better than now at planning. There need to be restrictions--keeping people better served where they are without having them sprawl out beyond.

The real enemy is the current developer and planning community.
