It's old

The automobile has been around for way too long now and it's gotta go. The technology is over one hundred years old. Automobiles will never be carbon neutral nor green for a very, very long time to come.

Maybe we should go back to walking or riding horses. Maybe wagons were a bad idea because they hitched horses to them thus inventing the term "horse power".

Maybe we should work and live in the same city and ditch the thought of utilizing HOV lanes or commuting to anywhere our feet won't carry us.

Maybe we shouldn't buy or even own more than we can carry on your backs. At least when we were more nomadic peoples, you never heard about childhood obesity and type 1 diabetes because people ate less and moved around more.


Did oil companies come before automobiles? No. Oil companies began during the industrial age for the lubrication of machines. Whale oil was used as fuel for lamps. But it's a bad idea to kill too many whales because then the earth would be void of another species.

No one cared much about deforestation when trees were utilized to construct wooden vessels to explore the open seas. Now, too many people need toilet paper in China, so we better plant a tree before Brazil looses it's rain forest to the high end furniture makers of the world because you wanted a teak patio set.

Are we evolving or devolving?
