Dear MyLoters, We are living in the age of technology and fossil fuel driven world. During last few decades world has seen unprecedented growth in the developing nations like China and India. More and more automobile companies are opening their outlets in developing and their sells is skyrocketing due to this expansion. This expansion in their sells figure is also linked with the increase in the fuel consumption and pollution. However people are happy with the growth in GDP and associated indicators. Very few people are concerned about the out come of such development, especially in the case of its impact on the earth. Why government across the world are not joining hands for developing alternative sources of energy? I have been involved to examine the possible answers to this question reviewed the policies various governments and international bodies for last one year. I have come to the conclusion that fossil fuel is not only running the cars and automobiles but the government system across the world. I need responses of the people who are sensitive towards the fate of this planet.

come to think about it, nothing is ever secure in this lifetime. and that includes our planet. i admire that you took time to learn and post about these things. i'm not sure if there's a lot i can do to contribute in helping to fix these problems, and the government is something that can't be controlled by most "regular" people (like me)... But i'd say, i can still do some things to help, in small ways...and it's better than not doing anything at all. not everyone cares, but some do.
