Some of the comments after the video echo my thoughts, especially the one about Bush spending 15 billion in incentives to reinvent the "hydrogen" wheel. Another film that is a real eye opener is <i>Who Killed the Electric Car</i>. As Jack alludes to about the Tucker auto, the problem with independently made environmentally sound and otherwise awesome personal transportation vehicles that don't use oil is that they don't use oil, and Big Oil owns the world, and tells presidents when and where to attack next, and they ultimately own the media and we are easily convinced that anything besides oil isn't feasible. And oil is hard to beat, but we're going to have to sooner or later, so why not now? The big reason is because there is still a lot of oil to sell, and the price is getting better for the seller all the time as long as they can keep conning a critical mass of folks to keep playing the oil game.

Sorry I haven't been posting as much lately...vacation, the day job, and the kids all ramping back up for another school year...it's been hectic around here, and all too easy to sit back with the latest NetFlix dvd and just absorb news and books rather than unleash the writing muse; promise I'll get back in gear soon when things settle down.
