i’ve said it before, but i have to say it again.
in very simple terms:
the pursuit of and reliance upon oil is, literally, destroying the world.
internal combustion vehicles ruin our environment.
the reliance upon cars ruins our communities.
our reliance upon oil screws up our foreign policy.
our defence of oil reserves puts western soldiers in harms way.
so let’s all say it together: fuck oil.
why are we knocking ourselves out supporting and propping up the petroleum industry when there are so many viable, sustainable, alternative forms of energy?
the only thing that oil is necessary for is big things that move (i.e-airplanes). but cars, buses, trucks, buildings, etc. could all be powered by sustainable and renewable forms of energy.
the next time it’s sunny and warm just look around you and count the solar panels. most likely you’ll see none. it’s like free energy just pouring down upon us and being wasted.
and the next time you drive through a vast and windy part of the world count the number of wind-turbines. most likely you’ll see none.
etc
etc.
all of this free energy just going to waste.
oil is destroying us. in many ways. and it sucks that we have oil men as our president and vice-president.
the next time a western soldier dies for an oil producing country just remember that they died defending a dirty, anachronistic, and dangerous form of energy.
it’s time to change. for a million reasons it’s time to change our reliance upon oil.
the world should be covered with solar panels and wind-turbines and hydro-generators and etc. the world should not be covered with choking smog, greenhouse gases, oil spills, and texas oil men determining our foreign policy.
