Support an Oil-Free Future and Tell Ford Motor Company to Quit their Oil Addiction

As Bill Ford Jr. continues to ignore industry advancements, Toyota USA CEO Jim Press has called automotive leaders to a summit to craft a new vision for better fuel economy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in vehicles nationwide. Will Bill Ford Jr. be attending?
