Fuel costs and poverty

A blog post from Scott - "Getting Green and Being Poor"

( ... "Getting your kid to daycare, getting to work, going along to your kid's hockey tournament, picking up the Christmas tree -- all of those things and a million others have to be done differently." ...

"I'm not trying to argue that 'fewer cars' equals anything other than 'good thing' in many, many ways. It's a transition that needs to happen. The question is how it is going to happen. What I want to argue is that we should start making it automatic to ask that question, to ask what the human impact is going to be." ... )

There also are 11 comments on the post (as of now); a few of those are from me. The ones that I actually read are thoughtful, and the authors focus on important issues.

Both of those posts are just quotations from writing by Kurt Cobb. I ended up adding a comment to the second one though.
