It turns out Chevron is lobbying the Bush Administration to strong arm Equador into dropping it’s 16 billion dollar collection from Chevron for dumping billions of gallons of toxic oil waste into the rainforest.
I’m looking forward to everyone from that generation to retire/die because all this recklessness has to stop. I can’t imagine anyone in my age group agreeing to a destruction of that magnitude. “we have to look out for our shareholders” grunt grunt…

I’m sure most people are aware that BioFuels are not eco friendly. In a frightening Times article titled The Clean Energy Scam it’s clear ethanol is not a sustainable path.

People are more connected and knowledgeable than ever. I thought it was clear we no longer wanted short term solutions.
