however my ride gets 50 mpg now but if gas goes to five bucks after we start war with Iran prob. will shell out three grand for a stylish electric bike when there is no oil or rationing etc….in city, if there are bike racks etc. dont know why anybody would deal with hassle of car ownership especially as it is a depreciating asset which loses half its’ value the second you buy it…doesnt make any sense. but nothing in the US does.

I especially love the shell ‘letsfixthis’ propaganda during masters they sponsor. while most of our budget goes to attacking countries to ‘secure’ cheap oil, my state just recently got 200 mill lopped right off of educ budget so every single school in the state is now struggling cutting AP classes or closing entirely and shell says they want to ‘fix this’ maybe by having no schools or no teachers.

still not as bad as chesapeake fracking propaganda during super bowl whereby a lady was riding a high speed rail and gullible people are supposed to think it is linked to fracking..nobody else has mentioned it and unless somebody apparently big oil can just have puppies rainbows etc in commercials…while very animal in gulf has cancer, dolphins now washing ashore are immediately classified as hazmat due to toxins in them. but ‘nothing is happening’ because BP says so. inquiring minds should think of climate change and who has most to gain by doing nothing at all!!!scientists????obama??? when planet turns to sh*(, it certainly isnt helping him get reelected…when society fails due to unstable climate it isnt helping scientists. use occam’s razor. when denialists say ‘everybody drives’ refer to false equivalency…you cant compare apples and oranges with no oranges as in alternatives. like we have in the US. thanks to big oil which owns our govt. which blackmails you into whining about five dollar gas because you honestly have little choice at this point in history. a century of billion dollar big oil subsidies will do that!
