We could have fought them years ago, insisted on keeping streetcars and public transportation and not bought into the promise of unlimited cheap energy.
But we didn't and right now I find myself surrounded by trucks and SUVs bigger than any time in the past and I mean any time.
It's a new era, energy efficient devices, dozens of electric vehicles to choose from, including plug-ins that run for pennies per mile and require very little maintenance.
BUT, we're hearing a lot about how Hydrogen is going to be this magnificent new fuel and change everything.
The whole mess began under George W. Bush and is funded by BP, Chevron, Shell, Airgas, and others, and supported by a number of automobile manufacturers.
Universities and government agencies are interested in the science and, thus, complicit in the program.
Their involvement, sadly, lends an air of legitimacy but this is nothing new.
BUT, we stand at a point in time where we CAN claim some independence from fossil fuels and I'll be damned if I'll let false claims pass as honest.
