Hey everyone,
Yesterday I watched a documentary on german TV on fuel problems & big jeeps being bought in the US. What were the fuel problems ? Mainly that it would run out at some point and that it got more and more expensive. Here is the irony: When I was watching the documentary the most things I saw driving on the street were big Jeeps and Pickups, consuming 20-30 litres/100 kms. And the ppls solutions when asked what they would do if the fuel ran out: "We just get more !"
A couple of ppl were asked specifially and here where their answers:
"If we have no more fuel ?Well, I hope the President redoes some laws so we can drill in natural reservations in Canada."
"Its all the fault of the arabs. They have our fuel and are making it so expensive."
"Who is more important ? Me or a bird !"
As can be seen from these responses not one person cared that their cars are consuming by the bucketload and also saw no problem in getting more fuel. What an arrogance and naivity. And what angered me most is that not one person thought about replacing their big 8 litre 4 * 4 maybe with a smaller car. As if its normal to drive 60 kms to work using a Jeep.
