Stealing from your grandchildren....
With each Hummer that goes by. With every car in the regular toll lane of I-95. When an English plane flies a Trans Alantic flight without passengers...
At a mere $3.00 a gallon we can frivolously burn fuel oil. But knowing what we do, every gallon of oil we burn not producing the products that produce renewable energy is theft...
Each gallon wasted not producing wind, and solar, or other "alternative" energy solutions mean that your grandchildren WILL suffer. Each gallon of oil spent on wind generation will pay us back as will oil for photovoltaics. But you can now burn oil and giggle...I wonder what your grandchildren will say...

1. What did your Grandparents steal from you ?
Just asking. Maybe a depression? A World War(or two)? An outhouse?
Running water? Paved roads? etc. etc. etc.

2. It's like they say...
"We don't inherit the earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children."

3. Who paid for the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam? Money is a concept and not the same as your
checkbook. Did your parents have an ATM on every corner? The grandkids will have money if you have money, real money, Paris Hilton kind of money. Don't worry they will do OK. The concept is changed as needed. I predict they will have leased housing, instead of mortgages.
