How do we stop them from repressing cleaner energy sources? Why must we be victims in this? Is there no way to fight back?

Both US political parties take money from Big Oil, so neither side really seems to be able to rise above the greed.

Big Oil sucks it! Everyone knows this, but we all just keep bending over.

Gas is now over $3 per gallon - our water and air just gets more and more polluted - we are always in some sort of trouble in the middle east - 100% based upon oil, regardless of what they want us to believe.

Even if you believe we are fighting a war on terror, then what funds the terrorists, milk money?

Soloar panels can create electricity - electricity can power batteries - batteries can power the electric car. Very basic, very clean, very logical!

Tesla's first car achieves 200+ miles on a single charge, and most people don't even drive more than 30 miles in a given day anyway....

Will the government in the US back Tesla? Of course not, because the powers that be will not stand for it!

Their greed lines the pockets of very few, but they are VERY powerful - Bush, Cheney, the Saudis...

Our world is in turmoil, our oceans are being polluted, our children may not have clean air soon, and why?... so the fuckers that set up this ass backwards system for their own greed, can shove the status quo right down our throats!

Unfortunately too many people (especially in the US) believe gas guzzling monster vehicles are part of some sort of "freedom" here, when in fact, just the opposite is true. How many people really need an SUV? How often do you see single people in SUVs, who are not hauling anything anywhere?

The government offered businesses up to $100,000 in tax benefits if you purchased a Hummer when they first came out. On the flipside, they offered $4k for EV1 purchases just prior to the switch.

Are we blind? Will we allow all of this to lead to WWIII because Big Oil can't be stopped? When are we going to finally wake the fuck up!?
