I'd bring an Ice Chest full of Coors, but there's no ice left.
Fortunately it doesn't need cooling, being pasteurized and all.

Okay, so far the menu is: Bar-be-que'd chocolate tater salad, champagne, Guinness, warm Coors, Indian Pale Ale, and Mackeson.

Sounds about right so far.

See, KennyC. Since we can't save the world...Let's party...

Certainly there's always that way out.

I'm full of hope though, I still think we can pull it off if we can just get our heads outta the silica...

You'll probably need to install a few more of those fancy outhouses as well (to protect the beautiful flora you've planted from the outdoorsy types).

Lest it be said I don't have suggestions....

Here's an answer for the car/truck issue, using existing technology - but it'll cost a lot up-front. Rebuild the interstate highway system, to put in inductive power sources in the road bed. Car/truck pull electricity via an induction coil from the inductive source, to run the car/truck. The car/truck has 40-50 miles worth of battery in it, for off-source use. Plug in at home at night for local use. But this'll cost the price of rebuilding the nationwide roadbeds, as well as around 100 nuke plants...

Global warmists - are you willing to pay the price???
Sure. But because it would make more sense to do it that way than to use up a finite resource. Transportation is one of the main cogs of the economic engine and we are perilously close to having that cog go CLANK! as we get lower and lower reserves of oil. That it would also resolve many environmental issues is a pleasant side effect.

But the main answer, I feel, remains that we need to retool the transportation model as soon as we can. It's not just expensive, but necessary and sooner is much better than later.
