this is more profiteering. Supply is threatened prices raise, big industrial companies get cleanup contracts, oil and energy becomes an even bigger political issue and lead t. There is no partisan environmental mandate here its the same old story since oil was a billion dollar industry.

Look at Chicago and Pennsylvania. They have the most nuclear reactors in the world. Ask any "tax payer" if they have ever seen a decrease in their electric bill. If anything I'll bet they have and will this winter see an increase.

"and i would CYCLE that fucking 2 miles if there wasn't a damn freeway sitting in the way. build cities correctly!" – iCanHasQBN
you're excuse not to bike to work is typical and it stinks.. blame, blame, blame. and why would you move 35 miles to start up an engine twice a day to drive 2 miles across a freeway? was this move really a 'fight the oil industry' or 'my convenience' move? oh wait, "if the city were just built correctly" <-- hilarious :D - i work with people that bike 10+ miles into work... like whoa, huh? hahaha
- Do you work for Exxon Mobile?
You should get a job as a lobbyist for them, or maybe as their spokesperson.utopian - yes, if the city was built correctly, with pedestrians and cyclists in mind, i COULD get to work by bike.iCanHasQBN
- it is physically impossible to get across unless you are in a car. what part of that don't you understand?iCanHasQBN
- btw, i cycle 25 miles every morning for fitness. +80 on the weekends. your implication that i'm lazy is preposterous.iCanHasQBN

and i hate to do it again but..
"Just a thought... but I wouldn't be surprised if the automobile and oil companies actually bribe city planners (any higher-up gov't officials who oversee the writing of codes for how developers can build in a particular city) so that they'll write those codes to FAVOR the sprawling of cities." - iCanHasQBN
DUDE!! you need to get with the program. you are like clueless to how the world works aren't you? literally, wake up in time and are like.. "Uhhh, i wouldn't be surprised if things actually worked in favor of industry" blah blah and ha ha. do you know what a monopoly is or how big industry works or even have a clue?
and why wouldn't social city planners adhere to the auto industry? there is alot of land in america, cars are convenient and affordable, are returned as ROI if driving to a job. its just the case that we are at where we are today through an industrial stronghold over our economy, the wicked political tricks of those industries, and the natural growth of our society.
someday your grandchildren are going to be pissed at you for building computers and "programs" that automate their entire life.. but you don't give a fuck now do you?

humans are not dependent on oil — our population is. when the oil goes, 90% of the population goes with it.
