what a bunch of crap... Oil companies don't get rich off bike tires and shoe rubber manufacturing or you buying t-shirts...
The oil companies make billions off of GASOLINE! and north americas comfort in driving 45 minutes to get to work every day creates an unnecessary need in guzzling far more gas than is actually required. If we were smart we would start designing cities back as they used to be, tight quarters where everyplace (work, food, shopping) can be reached quickly by foot, bike or subway. Toronto is set up well this way, so is New York... Detroit, in contrast, is spread out a lot where everyone has to drive 15-20 minutes to get to anywhere! Almost nobody lives in the downtown core and everyone who works there drives at least a half an hour coming in from the michigan suburbs every day. You get rid of cities set up like that? The oil people will feel it...
