America is killing itself on oil by not investing in alternative energy, according to one writer
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
According to one writer, the United States is addicted to oil and it is killing itself with it. Rather than investing in renewable energy from the wind and the sun, the US is letting oil companies ruin the environment instead of following France and Germany's lead and putting money toward alternative energy. Furthermore, oil companies will stop at nothing to keep America's oil fixation going.
We use billions of US tax dollars and the blood of our soldiers to preserve the power of these unpopular governments.
In the first quarter of 2005, the cost of a gallon of gas climbed to the highest price ever.
In that same period Exxon Mobil, the behemoth global oil company, surged forward as the largest and most profitable corporation in the world valued at more than $402 billion on February 28, 2005.
While America politicians and businesses clamor over the dwindling global oil reserves, other countries are taking necessary actions to replace oil as their principle energy source.
Germany and France have both implemented successful alternative energy programs, dramatically reducing their dependency on oil, and oil rich countries.
This is perhaps one of the principle reasons why their governments are labeled as uncaring towards America's political predicament with foreign oil.
While America spends billions to secure oil resources with their military, Germany and France pour their wealth into expanding their alternative energy programs.
Politically, the American blight in the Middle East is of great advantage to countries in support of renewable energy, because these countries are getting a head start on the global race towards the technological development of more efficient renewable energy systems.
A principle reason is the naivety regarding possible options of renewable energy, coupled with the distorted way big oil and their hoard of PR people compare the cost of oil against the cost of other energy sources.
Education is the answer in the US, because the reality of alternative energy is realized by the simplicity and beauty of wind power and solar energy.
Oil proponents are afraid of advancements in technology that could put an end to the oil hegemony, so they fight progress bitterly.
