The Worlds Greatest Addiction! Hydrocarbons.
The Spill in the Gulf Of Mexico is a wake up call. The worlds love affaire with HydroCarbons needs to end! Our dependence on the cumbustion engine is arcane and antiquated, all based on two industries that have taken us by the nads and squeezed every penny they can get to make themselves multibillion dollar corporations. Now we have bailed out the auto industry on one hand and have been lied to and royaly screwed by the other side of the coin, the oil industry! Isn’t it enough, have we come so far only to be so blind! I grew up in an oil family with a grandfather who worked for Exxon’s refinery for 49 years. He never drove to work, in all those years rain or shine, he rode a bicycle. I remember cars that would run on anything but water disappearing on the shelf of the Oil industry never to be seen again, because of greedy oil men, those who doubt this, I actually saw the car in a news story in the early 60’s on television it was a lengthy story on a science show . It’s time, who will stand up and once and for all demand change!! The era of an economy doomed to fail based on hydrocarbons is at an end. We must accept it’s fate and move on to better things!
Over 3500 oil rigs in the Gulf, yet no one asks, “why is the price of gas so high?” Don’t let them tell you there is no other way or that nothing better exists. They have lied for years, and they will lie again. There’s talk about skimming the oil from the surface with super tankers, this from an executive from Shell Oil, yet they fail to tell you that what’s on the surface is a small portion of the oil, because of the highly toxic dispersent that has been banned in other places in the world for ten years that they’ve used. The real problem is under the water and it’s growing bigger than what we see on top!
Yet, that’s how it always is in deception. It’s not what’s on top you have to worry about, it’s the underlying implications that we never see till it’s too late! That has been the nature of the Oil industry and the Auto industry. What was good for General Motors was absoulutely not good for America, and a tiger in your tank will only eat you alive!
