SPRING 2010 BRITISH PETROLEUM OIL PLATFORM CREATES LARGEST OIL DISASTER IN HUMAN HISTORY -ALL THE GUARANTEED SAFEGUARDS FAIL - MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF OIL SPEWING INTO THOUSANDS OF MILES OF OCEAN - ONE MONTH LATER NO END IN SIGHT - HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SQUARE MILES OF THE GULF OF MEXICO ARE IMPACTED - BP (ARCO, AM/PM) LIES ABOUT THE HOW MANY OF THOUSANDS OF GALLONS ARE SPILLING EACH DAY, DENIES THE IMPACT ON HABITATS COVERING MILLIONS OF MILES... THEY PLAN TO WRITE A COUPLE CHECKS TO CLEAN THIS UP - THE WEEK OF THIS DISASTER THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTS OIL COMPANIES ARE MAKING RECORD PROFITS - THE WORST THING... THE PUBLIC FAILS TO RESPOND UNTIL MILLIONS OF ANIMALS ARE SEEN DEAD AND DYING
LET'S HOPE THIS ISN'T THE SAME LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE AND "SAFEGUARDS" PROTECTING NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS... GO SOLAR!
In the Summer of 2008 the World Saw the First Results from Strained Oil Supplies. The World's First Supply Side Oil Crisis Caused the Highest Gas Prices in History. Auto Makers were Producing More than 40 Million Gas Burning Cars per Year. Oil Producers and Crude Supply Investors Saw this as an Opportunity to Maximize their Profits... at the Cost of Everyone Else!
BECAUSE OF INFLATED GAS PRICES PEOPLE BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE PAYING THEIR BILLS. A RECORD NUMBER OF MORTGAGES WENT INTO DEFAULT - BY SUMMER 2009 THE WORST ECONOMY IN 80 YEARS HIT EVERYONE - THE AFTEREFFECTS CONTINUED WELL INTO 2010 WITH 14 PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT - MILLIONS OF HOMES IN DEFAULT
But, still people ignored the signs.
When you hear people talk about electric cars you hear lots of comments about how much more they cost than gas cars. This is because most people don't think ahead. And, they sure don't add up the weekly price they spend on gas. If you consider the cost of driving a gas burning car over 10 years electric cars pay for themselves.
BUT, WHAT PRICE DO WE PUT ON THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH???
What price do we put on the number of people who die from cancers caused by pollution?. What price on the millions of animals who are dying as we speak? What price do we put on the families losing their homes, jobs and companies failing because of the economic disasters caused by oil?
If you truly are only considering the purchase of an electric car based on price, you just don't don't get it. This website is a hell of a lot more than just about cars. For the past 16 years we've been warning the public, arguing with politicians and trying to convince CEO's of auto companies to step away from their spreadsheets and see ahead... We received virtually no assistance from automakers, the government and to be honest of the millions of people who've come to this website the response has been paltry.
And, here it is again... the ugly truth about this disgusting oil addiction the civilized world has created.
