Oil prices are going up again. Electricity bills are following the same trend. And people are angry because of all the price hikes.

I can’t help but feel sad that we’ve have become slaves to such things – slaves to electricity, slaves to oil, slaves to technology – when technology was supposed to have been created to help improve our lives, not to enslave us. What makes the situation even sadder is the fact that we’ve already identified the solutions yet we don’t take steps to solve our problems.

We have wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles, biogas, and so many other  greener, more efficient solutions that can liberate us from all the problems of electricity and oil price hikes. You don’t even have to own or rent an industrial equipment to install any of them in your house. Yet, we stubbornly choose to do nothing but complain and hate everyone, the government, the oil spill, the gas companies, everything except our own sorry butts.

Wake up people!
