In other news, after watching the Academy Awards, the fact that Al Gore now has an Oscar for his documentary just further solidifies his place as "green champion." Yep, everyone by now knows that Gas is getting closer to being obsolete, but does that mean that gasoline drivers are going to be persecuted? Well perhaps... (the following comes from a 40min commute into school)
Among most Nor' Westerners, "the Hummer" series especially the H2 and H3 aren't well received. Further among "green people" all SUV drivers (including the inscrutable soccer mom) are being criticized for filling up. Part of it has to do with green house gases as Al Gore pointed out, but some of it has to do with the price. It's no secret that in 10-20 years gas prices will be at new all time highs. It maybe then that drivers of Escalades, Ford Excursions, and Hummer H2s will be the elite class and us Subaru/Honda drivers will be the economy gas saver class.
Either case, I perceive a schism forming between the Green People & Gas Savers vs. SUV & Gas Guzzlers. I'm going to exclude construction workers who drive Fords or Chevy's because honestly if they're using their truck for it's intended purpose then there is no waste happening. What should you do then? Well this issue transcends Liberal/Conservative or Republican/Democrat because saving money (ironically) will come from conserving gas. Thus I purpose a new campaign...
Saving money by buying a diesel (for bio diesel) or switching to mixed fuels is an American step against Terrorism.
yep! If you want your boys back state-side it's time to buy a diesel and pump bio diesel over regular diesel or even make your own! And to gas cars, it's time to convert your car (even if it gets 35+ mpg) to ethanol or E85. All of this is an effort to combat terrorism and to conserve money, resources, and above all keep US Dollars in the US.
more to come as I continue to work this out on future commutes.
