But the reaction was a tiny, resignation-filled sigh. Relentless fuel-price increases have so exhausted consumers that we don't have the energy to be outraged anymore. So we feel helpless as we watch oil sprint past the $130 mark on its way to price-prohibitive territory and wonder whether it's too late to bring back the horse and buggy. Our sense of helplessness is an illusion: There are things we can do. We got ourselves into this mess, mostly through multiple administrations of politically comfortable but shortsighted decision-making. And inasmuch as we're willing to stand a little political discomfort, we can get ourselves out.Thu, 29 May 2008 17:47:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/04/01/Energy.intro/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/04/01/Energy.intro/index.html#cnnSTCTextIn the coming years we face an unprecedented challenge -- to provide the means for global prosperity, growth and stability from a radically different set of energy sources.Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:55:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/03/09/eco.cities/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/03/09/eco.cities/index.html#cnnSTCTextIf you fix the cities, do you fix the problem?
