Gas oils
Lately I have seen more and more empty petrol stations. I remember that when I was a child, all the national roads were full of petrol stations to satisfy the thirst of cars or drivers in the street. Far away are the times of the petrol stations that sold music such as El Fari, Camela, Los Chunguitos or Melody. The toll highways had once stole ground from the secondary roads. Is the metaphor understood? It also appears that the pandemic has taken toll on companies engaged in the exploitation and processing of fossil fuels, as they have realised the demand for them. Is that the case? Who has lost what? I have not seen Josu, Ana, Miguel and Naroa long time ago, workers working in the gas station of my people, one of those second-class.
No, I don't want to make apologistic articles for inequality, but in those cases, as I walk past ruins of gas stations, I often tell myself how important other examples of that fuel are in our lives. Because, in addition to many vehicles, human beings need gasoline to be on the go; if not, we turn off, as if it were the cell phone that we left on our tables without connecting to the charger.
"Today in the neighborhoods of Gaza, pure and double coffee will be used as gasoline, because many don't want to dream, because they think those dreams are going to be bad."
On the other hand, as my car's deposit marker goes down, I remember other examples of the petrol trace. It is well known that this hypertrophied society has an inescapable need for sport, as the deposit of endorphins is full up, in the spirit of becoming superheroes before the canons of beauty. However, many prefer alcohol as a fuel and, as could not be otherwise, during the weekend fill the tank up to the age of a week. A long time ago, a sick person took advantage of a dirty metaphor to compare human relations with sex and gasoline, that is, they have to get into a tank of hoses periodically so that it does not stop. Pobrecillo, he still has to learn a lot; at this point he has not realised that we are in the age of renewable energies.
Unfortunately, during these days, the original smell of petrol is probably pervaded in the noses of the Palestinian people, a pervasive smell, as if Israel wanted to remember it with the artifacts launched by them. Today, in the neighborhoods of Gaza, pure and double coffee will be used as gasoline, because many do not want to dream, because they think those dreams will be bad. Ah! How forgotten is the smell memory.
In those cases I remember the work “The Economy of Hydrogen” written a few years ago by sociologist Jeremy Rifkin. In this essay, the expert spoke of the failures suffered by different civilizations throughout history as a result of the overexploitation of raw materials, as well as the democratization of energy. The failure of the demand for fossil fuels, which was mentioned at the top, can make it ever closer to the dream of the American sociologist. It will have to be seen whether the authorities do not produce the H-98 and H-95 (Hydrogen) by effect of the factual powers or increase the gap of the north-south binomial. Let's not forget that in the world there are people born to consume super 98, and other super 95 -- or even that -- this last fuel, which is the one that represents the poor and the dependent. At the moment, we have a pretty big challenge with moving without realizing it and not giving it fire.
