I was 14 when the Exxon Valdez spill hit, i was fucking shocked to see the consequences and decided to use public transportation instead of a car. I knew if i ever learned to drive and got used to it id probably never go back to public transportation so i didnt. I just turned 35 and never drove a car except these 2 times at 16 where i drove a stolen car for shits and giggles that was abandoned in a park. The problem was known 20 years ago and they didnt switch.
The problem is that oil companies dont want to change. Theyre comfortable in getting their piles of money and they are entrenched in this position that they wanna keep drilling and polluting to their hearts content cuz thats how they make money and fuck you if you dont like it.
What we need is some politicians with backbone who are going to bitchslap these motherfuckers. Tony Hayward should do hard time in Jail. Then well see him and other CEOs act nonchalant about 11 people dying and flooding 3 states with beached oil? Not likely. The thing is that theres no consequences.
What we need is energy companies stopping being oil companies. Some guy just got a Nobel prize for inventing Windows that are transluscent but still produce solar energy. Its time to plaster New York City with those windows and step into the 21st century.
