Rising fuel prices : The best solution to our environmental woes !

We are all ,at some level , hypocrites  . Some not as bad as the others but hypocrites all the same . Especially when it comes to the issue of the environment and rescuing what little is left of it . We have all read , heard , spoken , written, preached about fossil fuels being a precious resource that is almost gone. From the time I first heard about it ( about ten years ago in class 3 ) , the basic , most obvious  solution to this "problem" was moving to renewable sources of energy . Every single environmental science answer paper written by students of this generation will have that one point very clearly written . And yet , even today , people are discussing about the pros and cons of renewable sources of energy . Lets take solar energy for example . Pros : Renewable , abundant ( THAT is what you call an under statement ) , causes no pollution ,cheap to use . Cons : Hmmmmm..hmmm...some hum ho about it's installation being costly .

It's taken me a while to make this post. The reason, I don't know. But one thing I know for sure. The world has lost a visionary, a creative genius, the kind of person who truly is one in a million. Steven Paul Jobs. The man behind the half bitten apple. The man who redefined how we would use of phones and how they would make them. The man who made a Phone do more than just make and receive calls. The man who put portable in portable music players . This is not a post to highlight the life and times of Steve jobs. A blogpost can't do justice to that. This is a tribute. A post to bid adieu. To say goodbye. One last time . No matter what anyone says, there is one indisputable fact.
