In a few weeks, Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit will open. Aw, isn’t that cute? [Car] addicts driving in circles in their fossil-fueled toys making noise.
If this was the Downtown East Side, folks would be up in arms, but since these addicts have wealth, they get away with it.
Someday pretty soon, oil will become the precious commodity it should have been all along. Fast cars, drives to the malls, chainsaws, lawn mowers and plastics of all kinds will have a heavy cradle-to-grave price put on them.
Leave it in the ground until we all have the sense to use it wisely.
