20. I am not in favor of blood for oil.

But I think things like the inaction in Darfur demonstrate how oil is key in this situation for those in power.

And do you still drive a car? What kind of car? Does it get good gas mileage? And if it does, doesn't it still need gas?

You may be invested in those technologies, but until we find a way to make an electric car that's competitive with a gas one, we're screwed. The best thing to come along is the Chevy Volt, but unfortunately, it costs a fortune compared to a car in it's class. It should cost just below $20,000, but it's fucking $40,000+. Twice as much is not realistic.
