re: #152 ggt

My only point is that people don’t make difficult changes in their behavior unless forced to by price.

A lot of very powerful someones have a lot invested in the current energy supply.

I’m not hopeful for any real change until it begins to affect those people’s lives.

A good historical example is the sanitary conditions in London in the 19th Century. The Thames was a sewer and poor people were dying left and right. Nothing happened until the stink got so bad, it could be smelled in Parliment, IIRC.

Artificially inflating fuel and energy prices has a high negative impact on the working poor. That has been my observation.
