woodydel, I turned 60 yesterday and share many of your beliefs. I guess the main difference is I have spent some time and a considerable amount of money to get a Patent on my design. The number is 7677208 US issued earlier this year.
I believe that the obligation of us older people is to try our best to solve the problems we face. Some people like to believe failure is inevitable, but evolution proves that failure is a part of the process. You are old enough to remember when gas was less than 15 cents a gallon and there was very little incentive to really improve efficiency. It should have been done when we became dependent on imported oil, and also when we realized the consequences of pollution.
The planet has absorbed our pitiful efforts at really changing the transportation costs in the past, but I personally think that the future will produce some fantastic results. It is sad that such actions could not be preemptive, but that does not mean we are destined to fail.
regards
Mech
