Rough math here, but the US consumes enough oil equivalent to a 45 by 45 mile square, 50 feet deep, every single day. Is that even remotely close, dimenstionslly? I saw ~900 Million gallons as reference and just armchaired it from there.

Anyway, have we all not been behind enough diesel trucks and 18-wheelers to realize that shit can't be good for anything living? No? Cars with cats removed, lawnmowers and other yard implements are awful. Visit SeaTac and experience that delicious jet wash. Yummo. 🙄

I don't have any game in this fight, but can we all just get fucking real for 2 seconds? It's nasty stuff, and I legitimately thought we'd be well past this whole burning carbon for fuel thing by now, but silly me. Can we all agree that something isn't right and go from there?

We can all stop lying to ourselves on this hot topic. Shit ain't normal.
