A dumb question about oil.

I just wonder if a few well placed nukes wouldn't churn the oil to the surface, then we could just go over with a few million barrels and scoop it up.

Greed...........that's it.....simple

Where are the electric vehicles? I could not find any that was anywhere near my price range when I was searching to buy a new car.

Between 1832 and 1839 (the exact year is uncertain), Robert Anderson of Scotland invented the first crude electric carriage.

In 1897, the first commercial application was established as a fleet of New York City taxis built by the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company of Philadelphia.

We are a world that could change over from oil to electric pretty easily, but that would mean a certain few would no longer be making billions of dollars.

GM and Chevron, and the Bush regime, may think it's a vital, critically needed delay.

Sure, if the US were serious, we could be driving on NiMH batteries; but it also goes for LEAD. Just to get started, just to start really doing something other than talk. Just to start the movement toward reducing oil burning, instead of continuing to talk about 2020 or 2050 goals -- like talking about the far side of the Moon.

But we, as a nation, are NOT serious. Not serious about reducing oil imports, not planning to reduce burning fossil fuels, and not caring about the oil addiction.

The plain fact is, the Alliance of Auto Mfg. (AAM), including GM and Toyota, and of course Honda, just does not WANT to do plug-in cars. And they don't HAVE to do plug in cars! All they have to do is LOOK "green", until the fad passes.

Since no one is forcing them to make plug-in cars, they won't make them, or they will make them to fail.

RAV4-EV in Santa Monica.

Toyota was taking these back and crushing them, stopped by the DontCrush campaign

Why GM lies about NiMH: Chevron owns the patent rights!

Calling for GM to produce the Volt with NiMH batteries is of course impossible, unless GM goes to Chevron-cobasys, to which it sold the patent rights, and begs to be able to use the batteries.

But this forces GM to either refuse to even SEE the existing hundreds of Toyota RAV4-EV, or else, forces them to admit that they can't get the batteries from Chevron!

The most successful EV ever made, the Toyota RAV4-EV on the right, is still active in California in fleet and individual use, still running on the original pre-2002 Nickel Metal Hydride batteries and still retaining a range over 100 miles. All the other EVs produced under the prodding of the ZEV Mandate, including the 1997 EV1 on the left, were NEVER SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE, and all have been destroyed by permission of CARB when, in March, 2003, CARB surrendered to the petroleum industry and the Bush regime.


Uhm.... Greed....any other questions?
