I have 40 posts per page ... so page one.
There have been prominent voices in America calling for us to get off oil for like 40 years now.......and those voices have been shouted down and mocked all along........those doing the shouting and mocking having the nerve to complain about gas prices today are ultra pathetic.
thats right and that car battery? do you think Art that the research started yesterday? no, it was started decades ago.
And, there was no reason to 'get off oil', I am all for ancillary cost efficient methods substituting for oil or coal, wind/solar ( and IF they ever become mechanically possible to replace oil completely hey I am pretty much but no totally on board) . However, I am not into social arguments ala oil is evil, environmental alarmist dogma.
I think the no reason to "get off" oil was a very short sighted attitude to take and I think there has been a lot of money and influence thrown around the last 40 years to help ensure that oil remains king. Had we as a nation taken a different path decades ago we might not be in this mess now or at the very least on the way to getting out of it and not lost in the woods.
yes well, though I agree, unfortunately the battle was lost back in the early 1900's when Rockefeller used his vast influence to beat back Ford with his vision for ala hemp or ethanol. It is what it is.
We are Arrakis. The spice is there, its just a matter of getting it. The spice must flow.
