I recently watched a video of
Toby Hemenway where he mentioned that either the average American or the average person is currently using 7 years worth of solar
energy each day due to petroleum, burning up thousands of years of accumulated energy each year. At some point beyond our lifespans, people will be forced back to a nearly solar/wind level of power consumption, it will be a brave new world for sure!
I'm trying to pedal my way to work more often than I drive for a 2019 goal, but with the imminent danger of being run over by distracted/angry drivers already a persistent concern, I won't be adding a sticker of any kind to the back of my bike any time soon. The fewer reasons they have for hitting me with 5000 pounds of steel the better. I've been hit by a car once at maybe 20-25mph and the police thought I was walking at first, my bike was thrown so far down the road. California drivers are at a totally different level of crazy speed and a day doesn't go by without a critically injured motorcycle rider/car collision.
