Driving for Freedom

 

WELCOME!

Driving for Freedom is an educational campaign and information resource designed to help American consumers learn about the personal and national benefits of petroleum conservation and alternatives. While there are many facets to this one problem, this approach holds fast to something we can all agree on—our freedom. Rather than polarizing this movement politically, Driving For Freedom will centralize progress, branding it "hip," "savvy," and the "right" way of thinking. Driving For Freedom will act as a Trojan horse of sorts, penetrating the dense inner core of our population which has been mislead or misguided until now.

Though a complicated subject, the presentation and delivery of information in Driving For Freedom is designed for modern entertainment audiences with full regard to current cultural demands. This is a high-energy and fast paced project for a high-energy and fast paced world.

Quick set-up (why this matters):

The United States currently depends on foreign countries for nearly 70% of our oil supply. Any interruption—even as little as 5%—would cause serious social and economic problems.(1) Without immediate attention, our industrial mobilization and personal freedom could be crippled; school busses, tractor-trailers, snowplows, farm machinery—and especially our cars—could be rendered less operable if our oil supply was weakened.

Seem unlikely or impossible? It's happened before.(2)

It is common knowledge that America's oil supply depends on maintaining relationships with countries that we consider unstable—Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, and Russia are a few of our largest suppliers.

Our dependence on foreign oil undoubtedly affects our National Security, sovereignty, and economy.

Regardless, Driving For Freedom is not designed to dictate a certain agenda. Rather, the purpose of this resource is to explicitly define the facts on petroleum consumption, allowing the public make their own decisions.

Yet, the question that remains is not whether the United States has a reason to be concerned or not. The question is: What can we do about it?
