Oil reached all time highs today in the marketplace! Oil will outstrip its practicality and be slowly replaced by Solar, Wind, Wave, Hydro, Tidal, and Geo-thermal power for a cleaner America! Nuclear, with Uranium already bought up by vulture capitalists,and in limitable supply, awaits the massive investment by governments, and a profiteering price hikes once our commitment is past the point of no return! America does not meed to be "Shystered" like this! Like oil has done! We cannot afford to fall into this "Supply - Demand, guess who owns your ass! Bull Shiite again! The Sun sets but once a day, the wind blows always, tides ebb and flow, controlled by no-one, and the rivers flow! Geysers spout, as regular menses of Mother Earth, owned by no-one! These natural power sources are ours to exploit, perpetual, and clean, America, Lets do it!

Gatorade is taking 500 kwh off the grid. I grant you your points about their bottles, but would you rather them not attempt this? Chrisp, I think you’re kind of missing the point.

It's over-priced flavored water in a plastic container that will take thousands of years to decompose in the land fill. The bottles are not recycled, they are down cycled. This is all such a waste of resources and money. Just use a REUSABLE water bottle and pour in the mix. For the price of one Gatorade bottle you could buy thousands of gallons of fresh, clean water right from your tap at home. But, if you really want to be bold, don't use the mix at all. Just drink plain water. Then you wouldn't have to burn off the 300 calories in each bottle or purchase a treadmill and fat clothes.
