They don't even put forth an alternative. They just whine about it, and are generally wrong. If the end of petroleum was really coming, and they cared or understood at all, they would be doing something about it.

        Building a high speed network makes even more sense if you've got a big-ass country to get around in. (n/t) - Tony - 2/25/2004 9:07:34 PM

        Which are great if you got over 200 miles to go. Otherwise, not worth the hassle.... (n/t) - Tony - 2/25/2004 10:18:59 PM
        
        Considering the aforementioned hassle, I'd bet that threshold number is higher than 200 miles. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 2/26/2004 12:17:14 AM
