Many people are striving to make our planet viable and sustainable simply because it is the right thing to do. Others are being led kicking and screaming, pulled along by economic necessity. The high price of gasoline has given many a reason to reduce their fuel consumption.
Although it hurts us in the pocket book, at least high-priced gasoline is having a beneficial effect on our ecology. Economics has provided an extra motivation to do something about the environment, and for that we can be grateful.
Socialism failed because it couldn't tell the economic truth; capitalism may fail because it couldn't tell the ecological truth. -- Lester Brown
