I can attest it is very much manual labor and extremely hard work. A post hole shovel is a machine it still doesn't dig the hole.

Wow, I'm shocked that you would say that.

And to Mark Prince buying a Volt really is an exercise in futility. Everything you use everyday are derived from crude oil.

Americans consume petroleum products at a rate of three-and-a-half gallons of oil and more than 250 cubic feet of natural gas per day each! But, as shown here petroleum is not just used for fuel.

Anyway, it is not recommended method for cleaning shores. Also manual work is often associated with work involving no machinery. And that post hole shovel is a tool, not machine.

But lets not argue about that: scoop and a bucket, that is the preferred method, no machinery.

I will go with you on that. Scoop up what we can and let nature do what it does.

See what I mean? Fucking typical asshole stupid shit. You are such a fucking dickhead man...

Here's the thing:

First, OF COURSE you can never get rid of oil. Oil is used for all kinds of things, not just energy, but energy is most of what it is used for. But besides that, Oil definitely has its place. I never expect to replace oil and anyone who thinks that, including tree huggers (like myself), is dreaming.

What pisses me off is this:
- Idiots in the world, do not give any other energy alternative any consideration. Like it or not, Solar & Wind are coming on strong, and even Nuclear can be a good alternative.

- Bigger idiots, think it is OK to pollute, because they think that nature pollutes already, and that nature can fix whatever damage they cause. They also think that all animals are on this planet mean shit, and poising them and the environment they need to live is just fine.

Do I think a single person like me driving electric can change the world? No of course not. But alot of people driving electric can make a difference. The BP Oil disaster for me was the last straw, and I made a personal decision not to support big oil anymore. If you don't like that idea Dynamo, then fuck you, you fucking piece of shit. I didn't do it for you, and only a selfish moronic stupid asshole like you would think so.

Anyway Dyna, we get it - you hate animals and you think they are here for you to piss on. We get it. Fuck you for that. Post all you want about me after this, you're on ignore.

Are you going to turn into Ted Kaczynski? Even his shack in the woods he couldn't escape it. The bicycle tire for example, and the wood-burning stove, now there is a clean source of fuel if there was one. Not only was he polluting he was destroying our precious trees.

I would also like to point out that it's quite difficult to get any of these chemicals from solar and wind power. What do you suggest as a substitute? Something as simple as toothpaste or soap.

Hi Dvae,

No, no one has to worry about that... sorry to lose it here on GFY.

peace.

And my work here is done.

Save a bird. Open a window.

Glad I read this thread. Just smashed all the windows out of my house.

Interesting thing. Friend of mine owns a mountain, one of God's creations, it is made of this white powder that separates oil from water. And with all of these oil spills, no one is the slightest bit interested in his mountain.

Well this went well...
