Polar bears in DC?

We here at GoodFuels certainly don’t promote potentially threatening civil demonstrations or activites that would otherwise disrupt daily traffic in a major city, but this story was too interesting not to call your attention to it.

Over the past several days, costumed mannequins dressed as polar bears in tattered clothing have been spotted around Washington DC, even forcing the closing of a Metro stop. The mannequins are accompanied by signs saying things like “Oil addiction wrecked my life!” and “Global warming refugee”.

It is great to see that Americans are finally waking up to the serious oil addiction this country faces. Ethanol, a cleaner and homegrown alternative that is available NOW, can and is helping the US break its crippling addiction to foreign oil.

We are not the only ones affected by such widespread overuse of petroleum, as the polar bear demonstrates. Breaking the addiction would benefit the entire globe, animals and humans alike. This is definitely a step in the right direction!
