big oil

The Guardian UK is reporting that James Hansen, self-professed leading climate scientists is going to speak before congress.

The greatest show on earth.

It’s a long road to really creating an eco friendly world, but we are making positive steps forward. Very often these little steps are made by individuals, cities, and mayors that are not waiting on national legislature. There is allot of debate to why national governments are taking their time, one of which is the involvement and persuasion of the oil industry. Today, a very inspirational story came to my attention that has been going on for years that surrounds those big bad oil companies.

The debate continues as to whether we've reached peak oil production. According to this post, it doesn't really matter for the environment since production continues to be artificially limited by OPEC, and maybe Big Oil, which inflates global oil prices-- Which thereby encourages investment and innovation in alternative fuel production.
