What I and most ecolos cannot figure out is why Israel is not at the forefront of petroleum-free living. Consider this:

1. Israel has no oil reserve of its own,
2. You get your oil from the least unfriendly supplier, Russia, who would not think twice before cutting off such a small customer for political reasons,
3. Your consumption helps keep oil prices high and feed, with petrodollars, those that want your destruction,
4. You have more than enough brainpower and chemical industry expertise to come up with something to replace oil,
5. Your lives depend on warplanes and trucks that, currently, run only on oil.

Are there ecologists in Israel? What do they say about all this orgy of petroleum consumption?

Heck, it’s even fun to go to Test Track (at Universal or Epcot, forget which) and just sit in the Hummer! Cheeper too. Great photo shot.
