Burning the Midnight Oil for Living Energy Independence
OK, the story so far:
- “BP”, which seems to stand for “Blatant Phonies”, lies about being able to fix a problem it lies about being almost certain not to happen and due to entirely predictable criminal negligence catastrophe strikes
- … because we in the US are addicted to crude oil, the “Texas Tea” that finances the Texas Tea Parties
- … and if we cut our petroleum addiction by 5% each year, in 20 years we’ll be off the stuff.
Transport needs about 7 5% solutions per decade over the next two decades. With the White House policy as one, Steel Interstates, Nationwide Oil-Free Liberty Transport networks, 5% of trips by Active Transport, and doubling the fuel efficiency of cars carrying 10% of passengers, that’s 5 of the 7.
But of course, five 1% solutions make a 5% solution too. So I am looking for 10 “1% solutions”. Heck, if we have enough of them, we can get 10% over the next two decades from 1% solutions even if they are not all 1%.
