On the topic of the environment, I do like the idea of slowly pulling down oil-based cars and introducing more hybrids. I mean, cars are, what, 25% of America's environmental toll, let alone the rest of the planet. Slowly, too, we need to introduce more solar and nuclear plants (albeit nuclear plants located a safe distance away, so as to prevent another 1979 incident. Granted, what I'm saying is of course quite obvious.
But then, despite the fact that it is a good start, talking cutting oil and slowly making reforms that limit its use, we do need more done.
And then there's the problem of deforestation and third-world poaching. We continue at this rate, and half our species will be gone by the 22nd century in a world where steel and cement blanket the earth and trees are as rare as gamma ray radiation.
