Helping the Gulf Part 2

May 25, 2010 - Posted by Lee Welles-author

I have long been a member of The Sierra Club. I am pleased to see that they are going straight to the heart of the matter and calling for a drilling moratorium (which means NO drilling) and is asking the Obama Administration to come up wiht a plan to get our country “off oil” in twenty years.

Extracting fuel from the ground, be it oil or coal or natural gas, always carries risks and hazards to the public commons (air, soil, water) Do you think we can find a way to fuel or lifestyles without oil? Do you think we can do it in 20 years? What can you do differently to use less oil?

ABC Science did an excellent three-part series about oil, its history and future.

    I think we can live without oil, it can’t be to hard, look at life before the industrial revolutions.
    It will be easier now with hydro, eolian, solar, etc. energy and all our advanced technology.
