Quite right. I think folk like us (who still do drive) just feel indignant as we WANT those renewable clean energy sources and are willing to support whatever can bring them about, but at the same time, we've still gotta go to and from work (unless you bike - yay biking!), see our friends, hunt tunicates, and more. So we want change, we write our senators, we support sustainability wherever we can, we educate our friends and family, and we do whatever else we can, and we still get hit in the pocketbook.
So maybe this will finally make people wake up to what has been irking Californians more and more these past few years (I still remember two years ago paying more than $2/gal for the first time) and affect some change. I hope so. Actually, CA just got news that the governator is funding a network of hydrogen refuling stations. Not that we have hydrogen cars yet, but it gives me hope that finally the pissed-off-level is having an effect.
I just hope it changes before I have to buy a new car (and don't tell Horatio I even mentioned that!)
