  2. Hold up wait a minute. It is common knowledge that the US dollar is backed by petroleum, which is limited and has peaked. Once the oil goes, the dollar loses strength and purchasing power is lost. Even if the former information was not considered, it is incumbent upon Black people to liberate ourselves from economic strangle holds, meaning we must liberate ourselves by minimizing or eliminating the use of scarce based currency. With that said, would it not be "creative" to invent a powertrain that is independent of petroleum and is able to be as efficient as any car in the world using natural resources? Couldn't we then design a unique frame around this powertrain and create a more efficient, fuel efficient, powerful, cost effective vehicle? Couldn't we then market this long lasting, powerful, natural vehicle for a cheaper price? What would this do to the market? Let us build something for the cause of abundance, not only to liberate ourselves by becoming producers (and not consumers) but to create our own markets, our own staples, and our own currency.
