If the people who want to stop using oil, actually stopped using oil wouldn't that solve the problem that people who want to stop using oil think we have?
The term "addiction" has been used loosely in the context of our oil consumption, but I think some who use the term don't literally think of our use of oil as an "addiction", anymore more than using water could be considered an addiction.
Personally, I simply want cheap oil and I think it is possible to have cheap oil. I have no interest in riding a bike, mass transit, using a golf cart or driving 55 mph on the interstate. If others want those things, that is o.k. with me. And if the people who want those things, just did them wouldn't we all be happy?
