Epipheo put together this simple and effective explanation on how our economy is tied to oil. Every time we start to thrive, the US increases its demand for oil which drives the price up and slows our growth. The video advocates the starting of a “third industrial revolution.” This revolution would be the development of electric cars and multiple clean and renewable energy sources to ween us off our oil and fossil fuel dependence. I started this site and the electric vehicle conversion project because I believe that gear heads need to contribute and stake their claim in this third industrial revolution. It’ll leave us behind if we let it.
