It's very simple, we need to consume less, a lot less.

The environment cannot sustain this type of abuse without horrific consequences which come at a cost to the common man.These mega corporation fail to realize that eventually these images will find there way to the public eye. Greed is like terminal cancer, it keeps eating at your very existence until there is nothing left.

The US government has been nothing but a store front set up to serve the interests of these evil oil companies. They profit from resources belong to the very same people they are killing and destroying. The oil companies are the greatest threat to the survival of this planet. To this extent, they are the most dangerous terrorists known to mankind. It's time to revolt against a government that is assisting the terrorists to destroy us and our environment!

@navazguitar The problem is oil companies often suppress our means of doing so.

There are actually a number of alternatives to oil,but we all know why they arent being used. 1.Greed ( corrupt politicians - ruling class - human nature ) 2.Cultural consumerism & the biggest reason 3.Public apathy Join a group,form a group,inform,learn,share.. Turn off lightbulbs,take the bus,buy a bike.. Do all the little things that are fucking EASY and they will turn into one big thing. Our biggest foe is not the oil companies (they come 2nd) it is ourselves. At least try for fuck sake.

the oil companies should be charged with treason and we can start with standard oil for selling the germans special fuel for their planes during ww2.then we should go after the rest of the oil giants for buying any fuel saving devices they can to protect their business.

if u want to die just make a fuel saving device and refuse to sell it to the oil companies.

the only war that should be fought is against the oil companies and we need to do it soon.

what we need is the classified top secret info tesla had for the world about plucking energy from the earth magnetic field to provide unlimited energy thru a wireless set up.

tesla had a tower built and had it working and when jp morgan found out there was no way to meter the power to profit from it he had the towers destroyed.

if you look into tesla u will see how he was smeared by the oil companies,bankers and our goverment.the truth is out there for those smart enough to see it.
