Default Re: Time to sell the Tundra???

Little known fact: Cars ( and trucks ) use less than 20 % of our country's oil consumption. Even if every car and truck in the US today would STOP, we would still use 80 % or more of what oil we use.
We use twice as much energy to heat and cool houses and buildings that we use for gasoline. Why dont we design better houses with passive solar features and hot water solar heaters ? It wont pollute and that could save millions of barrels of oil. We have the Technology, why dont we use it ?

How do I know ? I am a mechanical engineer who designed and built his own passive solar house 20 years ago. People were laughing at me then. I am the one laughing today when I get my cooling bill in the summer and my heating bill in the winter. Mine is usually about a third of my neighbors'.

I drive a small car around town every day but I will never give up my TUNDRA ! I need it to pull my trailer with my race car on it anyway.
