thank you so much Kat & Michelle for your efforts on behalf of our Big Blue Ball
Would like to hear, when you are ready, whether the technology you are proposing would allow BP to cost-efficiently reclaim some of the millions of gallons of oil, or if it would be lo$t to them, would suggest that would be a huge factor as to how interested they might be
My own thoughts are largely about getting away from our big fuel-inefficient cars which feed so much of the fuel addiction that we have
Years ago, I remember the proposal to legislate that all cars must have better MPG standards, it was shut down in congress and tabled for years, no doubt because of the collusion between manufacturers and big oil, and their lobbyists. Last I heard until 2012, for 35 mpg, as if that would be some sort of incredible technological achievement. Meanwhile, in Europe they have higher standards already-
wind power, solar power, money spent today to develop more efficient batteries for tomorrow
We have friends making a film about the lithium salt fields in Bolivia and Chile, which has been called the "Saudi Arabia of lithium"
suggesting that we could have a different type of energy crisis and political landscape in the future, even if we were to somehow achieve less fuel-dependence
