There has never been a more efficient way to transport either people or goods than by train, Clark said, commenting, a bit sadly, that most of America’s rail system is out of date and many of the engines are “in museums; we junked that system.’’
The fossil fuel energy we use is becoming less and less “concentrated,” Clark said. We must drill deeper and deeper for oil and it cost us more than ever to bring it to the surface. “Our economy is based on bringing fuel to the surface and converting it into dollars. But we are putting more and more dollars into the process,” he said.
The answer to all this, according to Wilson Clark, is to develop sources of “renewable” energysolar and wind power. Here the advice “think small” applies. Nuclear power can only be developed through a great deal of technology and money; it's not exactly a backyard project. But individuals can work toward building solar houses and w indmills, Clark said. And the answer for large scale production of power from the sun and wind could very well be developed by a backyard hobbyist. “We must not continue to think with our blinders on that any solution will require major technological discoveries,” Clark said.
