I try to explain to the uneducatable that it's not like those things, with little success. They're just to ignorant or too impaired to comprehend that chemistry, physics and economics dictate what can be used as alternatives to oil, just as those sciences dictated what could be done with nuclear weapons and space travel. But they persist in repeating the brainless squawking that all that is needed is a "government program".
The intelligent and mentally healthy segments of society have already discovered and evaluated all the practical sources of energy and no government "push" will change anything.
Unfortunately there will always be a large segment of the population that are just too stupid to understand this.
