Gotta start somewhere. The folks who are taking initiative (and are being mocked) might be the next Edison or Ford, synonymous with forward thinking.

Yeah, there is a big PR thing for Richard Branson, but as an aviation fanatic, I don't think we need to dislike him either. His companies have given many pilots jobs.

One day oil will not be a realistic choice anymore, or a greatly diminished one, and the forward thinkers now will be the ones who make the decisions at that time. And profit mightily. Our need for energy is not going to go away, but the traditional sources for it might.
