Oil snake & al.
Big part of the problem is Oil is still the cheapest way to go.
Being self sufficient is great if you can afford it.
so far any of the new alternatives are going to cost alot moreto use then the oil we now use
We frequently blame Big oil for the cost of gas but we do little ourselves to help the situation and very much to hurt it.
You can tell that by the sheer amount of Suburbans, Hummers and SUVs you see on the roads.
People dont want to spend blood for oil.
but they dont want to have to do anything that might reduce our dependancy on oil either.
Like drive ALOT smaller cars or maybe alot more at the pumps or give up all those cool gagets made out of plastic
Cant have it both ways
