Truth on the brain

I'm strangely annoyed that I'm still thinking about Truth after seeing it last night. It's not thoughts of fear or anxiety or anything like that, but rather strong feelings that there is some huge economic opportunity out there for me.

It was the end of the movie that actually had me feeling patriotic about the whole situation, which is incredibly ironic given the scope of the problem, and America's contribution to it. I haven't had a reason to feel good about our country in a long time, save for the promise of our children.

We have a lot of smart people here, we can innovate, we can succeed in not only addressing climate change but creating an entirely new economy around the technology. If we could break free of the auto and oil industry's grasp, and get politicians to stop being stupid, we'd be all set.

But hey, I spent 30 minutes in the park today where I saw 20 vehicles, all SUV's, come and go. Two had their owners inside, car running, A/C on. But there's no problem here, right?

Gas Efficient still isn't saving as much gas as walking ;).
