What is destroying our future is also destroying our present: oil is the crisis. We are currently in the Oil War with three failing fronts. Oil is depleting our acquifers, polluting our surface water, etc and so on and so forth. So why is oil not at the forefront of our discussions right now? We are killing Arabs and Muslims and on the verge of killing Venezuelans to get at what will kill us in the short and long term. Oil is the crisis, oil is the crisis so why is that not being said aloud in the public square. People can put together videos for flash mobs or cute jokes about a mayor kicking a kid in the face but we cannot get a campaign video about oil.
Absolutely. Thanks for the sober thought 2dwall. Using oil as our main energy source is a choice the Elites are making, but oil is crude, 19th century stuff. We could be doing much better.
The Elites insist on keeping oil dominant and other energy sources out of the mix as much as possible because oil is a natural resource that can be exploited at huge profits at each step {besides the corruption profits of governments in nations with oil resources, exploration profits landmen and seismic outfits, production profits Haliburton type companies, refining profits refiners, transport of the product profits pipeline companies, and there is still enough money in it at this stage that selling gasoline profits oil companies} - renewable energy systems do not offer that kind of scenario.
