I use NO fossil fuel to run my truck and I even burn the conventional motor oil that comes out of it when I change it.
I don't need anyone to tell me how to live my life or what I should use less of, you should worry about your own life and let other people live theirs.
You should also consider using less oxygen.
well i was talking about people that buy big gas guzzlers to drive 1 or 2 persons not people that have to carry loads of tools or other things..
you are an exception..
the toyota truck i have can legally seat 2 persons with seat belts no more.!! strict seatbelt laws here.
nearest place to get on a bus is 2 miles away, they won't let you carry 1500 pounds of tools on a bus, even if they did how would i get then to the bus, get real i have to carry tools to job sites.. so you expect people to carry 1500 pounds of tools to job sites on there backs get real buddy..
you can defend driving 8 cylinder gas guzzlers all you want..!! just to drive one or two person, should be criminal..
No one can stop you from using up all that gas to move your 3 thousand pound vehicle around as of now. Phyiological realities will catch up though when peak oil hits in a few years and oil because an increasingly scarce, expensive resource. You will have to learn to live in a sustainable way, the "American lifestyle" is temporary and only possible due to the abundant supply of practically free energy. One barrel of oil contains the energy equivalent of 23 thousand hours of human labor. It is what made the vast increases in standard of living over the past century possible.
They think this will go on through fall with the relief wells not ready til August.
They still don't know how much they are capturing and how much is escaping..it's still estimates.
