business partner, Bob Gordon, has opined ad nausea, the promotion of electric
vehicles as a solution to the energy and economic crisis is just a diversion used
by Big Oil to keep the world addicted to petroleum oil products. There is no
information or argument that refutes this accusation. Even if it is not an official
policy of the American Petroleum Institute or OPEC or any individual gasoline
company, it is a matter of fact: as long as there is a carrot out on the stick, we
will plod along without change to the status quo.
Who else benefits on the money or power angle, the people who run CARB and
the EPA, as well as those politicians responsible for creating or overseeing
these agencies. Padding jobs, particularly in a time of high unemployment, give
those in power more minions who are willing to follow, which translates to the
retention of an office or position that provides princely rewards.
America needs a revolution in its thinking and approach to many issues. The
policies that subjugate; be they from the private sector or the public sector, must
be thrown off. It’s not enough to “occupy” a position against one oppressor and
let another get off scot-free, especially when the other is the worst of the lot.
And the worst of the lot is Big Oil and the bureaucrats and media elite that they
control.

Civic model. I use it simply for easier identification. Coincidentally, I am mid-way through
a one-week test-drive evaluation of a 2012 Honda Civic CNG vehicle.
