Just wait until we can't afford gas any more .... everyone will start bicycling, running, walking and using public transit and asking for trains like it was the logical thing to do all along.

I hate how this has obviously been coming for decades and yet they still refuse to listen. Even if someone doesn't believe in climate change, oil is non renewable. That's just how fossil fuels work

Fossil fuel is renewable .... we just have to wait millions of years for it renew itself

Fair enough. In the meantime I'll take a train and use photovoltaic power

Are you nuts? That's a limited resource that's going to burn out in about 4 billion years!

More likely they will beg the government to heavily subsidize gasoline or they will beg the government for a heavily subsidized EV.

Then wait a little longer until we get to the point where gas is so expensive that even subsidized fuel is no longer affordable.
