Funnimetric

we need to keep pushing energy independence. Every other political concern is secondary. If we want peace and a greener world we need to stop paying for oil wars and stop paying dictators for oil. If we want to revive the economy we need to stop giving our money away to oil tycoons in foreign lands. We need to spend that cash on domestic sources.

What can you do in your own life for energy dependence and a more sustainable existence? There's some information floating around the internet that gives
food for thought:

Gas Station dependence on Middle Eastern oil:

* Shell................205,742,000 barrels
* Chevron/Texaco.......144,332,000 barrels
* Exxon /Mobil.........130,082,000 barrels
* Marathon/Speedway....117,740,000 barrels
* Amoco................62,231,000 barrels



* Citgo..........0 barrels
* Sunoco.........0 barrels
* Conoco.........0 barrels
* Sinclair.......0 barrels
* BP/Phillips....0 barrels
* Hess...........0 barrels




If it's true, it gives an indication of where you should and should not buy gas.


Another consideration: if you don't use phone books why not opt out of getting a new one 4 times a year.

Hey, those phonebooks save me 10's of dollars in TP costs!
