"Without struggle there can be no progress"
It is true that currently, we are still dependant on fossil fuels and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
However...
I believe that within 30 years, the majority of our vehicles will be far less dependant on fossil fuels and more on alternative energy sources. Thier time will come and they will concede - thats what I'm banking on.
If Iraq (and the rest of the middle east region) is to survive financially in a global market once oil is less relied upon, Iraq better be able to produce more than just oil as means to support itself.
It needs to develop a range of industries whether it be textiles, agricultural products or farm equipment (just no serin gas, ok?); a stable country is needed to acheive this.
This "cleansing" that has begun now will not reap any benefits for at least 10-15 years, at the earliest.
Or so I would think.
Patience is key here.

Quote:It is always society that is making concessions to their archaic way of life, because they hold all the cards in a fossil fuel driven world. If and when we moved to alternative fuel sources, they are gonna be assed out asking the rest of the world to take care of them. THEN we will see who makes the concessions.
