In Technology We Trust

I heard of a survey recently conducted which found that 87% of Americans believe in God or in some higher power.

It's a pretty high percentage, but I'm willing to bet that something like 95% of Americans believe that we'll find a way to run our millions of automobiles forever.

Maybe on ethanol, or hydrogen, or pond scum, or restaurant grease, or water, or processed garbage, or sawdust, or cow pies...

Or maybe we can run all of our cars on the hype over so-called alternative energy sources that the American public believes will rescue us from any fossil fuel shortages.
