Why Are We Using Gas Again? - May 6, 2010 by Millard

Good morning folks.

Today’s video showcases an electric car owner in Oregon with a need for speed. This guy’s gas free vehicle dusts everything on the local race track, and makes one wonder what could be accomplished with electric motors and batteries if we put the same amount of energy and capital toward them as we did the internal combustion engine. The main reason we became a petroleum based society right now is that John D. Rockefeller happened to be the most heartless and cutthroat businessman on the block, and an all-around asshole. The continuing greed and self delusion of our oil industry is to blame for the perpetuation of our silly fossil fuel system. Why else are we digging under a mile of ocean to extract a substance that requires significant refining and burns dirty, when we can create energy far more efficiently and cleaner?

Our shortsighted decisions as a nation and a species have created a spaghetti bowl of very troubling intertwined problems that can only be solved when we confront their root cause – our day by day choice to feed our monsters.

Remember, buy local or grow it yourself!

Love to all, Millard
