I have been thinking a lot about cars this week. The environmental film I chose was fuel, so this really has me thinking. The film really was an emotional roller coaster. Not in the sense that I wanted to cry at parts, but there were some things that made me so angry and some that were really hopeful even. What I have been thinking about the most are the hopeful portions. This film is not new, but there does not seem to be much progress since then. If we have all these capabilities to get different sources of biofuel to drive cars why have we not seen this yet? My roommate drives a diesel car, and its hard enough to even find a pump for her. Flagstaff is known for being “environmentally friendly” and a hippie haven, but why in this place where people would be happy to help do we still not see a change? The only conclusion I have come to is that there is not enough money dedicated to research, and getting these alternative sources of energy accessible. Why do we subsidize oil drills and call for “domestic energy” if we already have the answer? As you can tell, this movie has left me with a lot of questions that I would like the answers to.
