I bet within fifty years that fossil fuels will be widely accepted as the most powerful and dangerous narcotic ever invented. No other narcotic is as contagious or mind altering as the enengy services provided by fossil fuel. The heat, light, speed from fossil fuels have rewired the brains of an entire species. No other narcotic is as socially acceptable or widely sold. No other compound numbs and blinds humans understanding of the natural world as powerfully as fossil fuels.
