hmm Do you ever start your car in anything other than neutral????? If not, then no clutch in is tequired, obviously.

That wads tried beginning with the Reagan administration. They just forgot to do anything to stop the subsidies to fossil and nuclear energy at the industrial level. These are subsidies that ate largely invisible to consumers and which continue to distort the energy market. Because energy and the services and products it can be converted into are at the core of our.economy, we must begin to think systemically about what it will take to transition as quickly and efficiently as possible to an economy based on renewables. This is our only hope for avoiding the worst consequences of global warming.
