True Sustainability: Cutting Out the Oil

by Post Carbon Man on Sun 17 May 2009 15:40 BST | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Everything we see needs oil in our ‘modern’ lives. Even our ‘sustainable’ bangles. Every Nuclear Power Station, every wind turbine, every solar panel, every house, every power cable, every GHP, every CHP, every wood burner, every hybrid car, everything. Made of oil, transported by oil, created through releasing oil energy. NONE of it has a future. None of it.

Nothing is truly sustainable until Fossil Fuels are taken out of the equation. Oil has to be replaced at every stage of production. Oil has to be completely banished from our economy. Our economy must be decoupled from oil.
