Solutions do indeed exist to traffic, so many you can fill a patent office (“Solo driver? You are far from alone,” The Herald, Dec. 24). During the 1970s, the nation faced an oil embargo.
NASA with the Department of Energy, developed the National Energy Computer Model Project. We did come up with a plan to pull the nation off foreign oil within one year. Everything, and I mean everything, was looked at. The Arabs found out about the model, and decided to stop the oil embargo.
Today, we can update this model with carbon dioxide emissions, and new not-in-mass-production technologies. Fossil fuel interest will do anything, even start wars, to keep us dependent on petroleum. There are solutions that will require leadership. But remember your history, of the Great Depression, except today it is 2019, not 1918. America rose to the cause. History is repeating itself. America will again arise, and yes, America will declare war on Global Warming, and yes put a stop to these wars over oil. It will happen, the force of history is strong.
