Solar and wind are not direct substitutes for oil. Oil is not really used in the USA to generate electricity. Most of the world doesn't use any oil at all for electricity.
This audience on this website obviously has the ability to get off of oil and go to a model where solar/wind can substitute for oil by using a Tesla Roadster.
But the only way that solar/wind can substitute for oil is by a significant portion of the population getting electric cars. Then the electric grid and the sources that supply energy becomes relevant.

Using cartoons and comic book characters implies some comical unreal aspect.
The world of Spongebob and Aquaman are fiction not fact.
(Captain obvious to the rescue I suppose.)
Perhaps not obvious enough for Captain Obvious, but the underlying purpose of satire isn't necessarily humor.
Rename the post-spill BP, win a can of anchovies in oil! - ABG
BP logo redesign contests popping up everywhere - is this overkill? - ABG
That sort of activism could make BP look like the 'victim' in this mess.

By the way, shouldn't attention be focused on the oil industry as a whole, not specifically towards BP? This sort of problem keeps happening, with BP just the latest entity in the spotlight. If you want to protest, stop driving your gas car.

Everyone has a different way of expressing their disgust w/respect to something like this. Satire is one of them, I figure.
This is a particularly painful one to watch - regardless of your degree of love (tolerance?) for oil. It's wreaking havoc on the environment, and we wake up everyday to read that we are hardly closer to stopping it.
Anyway, it's been a serious factor in my resurged interest in electric cars, so I've been lurking the board again. Some kind of a positive in a plume of negative.

Hidden message in the picture ? ("Restore America"? :tongue
Yes. Glad someone understands irony.
