I see your point.

I also beleive that there isn't much potential to avoid the hardship. Afterall, this turn around is going to happen. Either in a gradual way of after a major upset. The energy crisis is going to be one of such upsets.

Politicians of course figure that the storm will not arrive till after the time they need to clear out. Seems the really poor and politicians think alike. Week-to-week.

I'm just happy that in my area we already had the transition; so we will not be hit as hard.
