Changing directions in something like energy takes DECADES. You don't wake up one day and say "oh, oil is now $5 so we will head in another direction".
sure you do, you quit driving so much and start car pooling while technology catches up or we're ready to pay for something more convenient.

all through history we've managed to transition without government interference, from fire wood to coal, from horses to automobiles, from steam engines to internal combustion engines, from telegraphs to cellular phones. Kind of makes you wonder how me managed.

Like I said, there is nothing from stopping you from buying a Prius or a hydro powered car if you want to just like I bought solar for my boat even though a Honda generator was cheaper.
