Wow. Let's try to convince people why it's alright for us to use a fuel we know to destroy the environment in countless ways and imply that it's someone else's job to advance alternative, less harmful alternatives to gasoline. I think using gasoline is fine for now. I'm not a hard line environmentalist or anything. At the same time I don't get how these companies can justify this kind of propaganda. Yes, it is their duty to their investors to make as much money as possible but it's no secret that one day we won't have enough oil to go around. I don't get it, logic dictates that you'd sell gasoline for the time being but at the same time you'd be pumping huge amounts of money into research and development of alternative technologies. The oil company that brings the best alternative to market first has the most to gain in the long term. Articles like this are so blatantly disingenuous and short sighted it makes me want to puke.
