It's pretty long term, so who knows what will really happen, but it could be a big shift. Oh, and if you haven't see this yet - it's <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3ecNXWEJ6A" REL="nofollow"> the funniest thing</A>.One step closer to Canadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12039738162667681225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-24288754103069755442008-09-19T12:07:00.000-04:002008-09-19T12:07:00.000-04:00Sushant, I'm not worried about demand. Not sure if you are American but Americans have a way of thinking only about ourselves or what the media tells us i.e. oil down = alternative energy not needed.<BR/><BR/>Other countries have been going hard and heavy for alternative energy as they are PROACTIVe - not REACTIVE. Brazil after the oil shocks of the 70s transformed their energy needs and are self sufficient. Some smaller European countries did it as well. Japan and Germany have been pushing on solar for a decade now. France on nuclear.<BR/><BR/>They don't want to be hostage to oil prices. We do. Because we have short memories. The rest of the world is pushing forward. We only push forward AFTER the emergency. Not in advance. The US has barely even begun any solar nor has CHina. In 3 years China will have passed up by miles on alternative energy. As will the rest of the world. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile we can put our corn into cars and call that progress.
