Back in the 70's with the first engery crisis with oil, we should of listen to president Carter & put the money into alternate fuels back than.Atleast by now the U.S. could of been free from outside sources of engery.Yet we failed to put the nesserry funds into how we can becaome independent from oil.

Oil was cheap & easy to prduct into engery.You all do realize that the MPG is far lower now than back in the 1980's.I beleive it was 1984 the standard MPG for cars was 22.Which made cars smaller along with conserving the key resource needed to keep this country moving foward.

However, big companies like Oil compaines control & lobby our goverment officals that we elect.It's out own fault because we as Americans for whatever reason need to own big things, let it be 9 to 10 mpg SUV's or houses that are bigger than what our real needs are.Americans use this crap as "Their Staus in LIfe" for whatever reason.

Our congress, governers, mayors & other local, state & federal officlas rent cars for there use in their every day lives.We flip the bill for them, so why do they give a flying fuck what gas prces are.Even when they fly most fly 1st class.They get away with this by flying certain amount of hours in one flight.How you ask, well intead of talking a flight that is non stop they take flights that have a couple stops which adds the time on to the flight.Don't think it true, than do your reasearch.

Again not saying all do this, but most do.Again do you reasearch its public knowledge all you have to do is research the facts.

Drill for more Oil is not going to help, we need to become & fund enery sources that we can prduce right here in the U.S. along with conserving the Oil.Shit I would go totally green if I could afford to do so.Yet the cost to go green far out weights the cost to stay on Gas or Oil.Again fund these industries so it can become affordable.

Search the facts on big oil companies like Exxon/Mobil.They have no funding going into research for other engery sources other than wanting to drill for more Oil.The take their profits & rebuy stock back into thier own company & lie to us.Bush's family is all about Oil.They are in bed with the Saudi's, the whole reason Bush tried to pass the bill to open up drilling in Anwar & Off shore to his buddies as on last ditch effort to help his big Oil friends to keep making profits.

Oil is running out, that is a fact.Drilling for new oil cost lots of money who do you think will have to pay for that cost.We will.Drilling off shore & in Anwar is meaningless.First barrel of Oil will not get on the market till about 10 years from now.Maybe sooner if we got lucky.

We are using less Oil in the U.S. now.It's China & India buying up the Oil.So how is the drilling in Anwar & Off Shore going to help the American people again.Don't get fooled by the smoke & mirrors by big Oil.All they want is there 7 percent plus profit every year.I love how they use that term it's only 7 percent profit we make.Yet its 7 percent in the Billions.Lot different.Don't we all want to make a 7 percent profit in the billions.


Just wake up Oil is not going to be around forever, just like this Earth might not be around forever.It's somethiing we as humans fail to see nothing is forever, yet we think for some reason it is.

If the MPG for cars was 22 back in the 1980's than now in 2008 the MPG should be atleast 44 or higher for every car on the road.It can be done.


Carbon Fiber is the way to go in car making.Light as a feather yet as strongg or stronger than steel.A guy created a Carbon Fiber frame which is 5 pieces that go together.It can be assembled by a 4 to 5 man work crew.One side of the frame can be picked up by one person it is that light.It would create more jobs, cut the cost of engery for these automatic computerised auto plants that drain electric power just so they can vut labor cost.Sure makes sense, yet with carbon fiber frames the need for computers & automated lines is a waste.

Only draw back the big auto companies said was the cost to produce the carbon fiber was to expensive.So the gy who created the crbon fiber frame is designing machinery to produce the carbon fiber cheap.Again funding areas that we know can & will work.

If we do not fund the areas that need to be funded right now, which we should of funded these areas 30 years ago we will never survive.It will happen, it has to happen, there is no short term solution we all will suffer for years to come till changes take place.Even than we will struggle but it has to start somewhere everyone has to be on board & grind & bare it.Only prolbem I see is us the american people ourselves.We want that quick fix, yet it's not coming.Like I said grin & bare it.


Couple of lovly excuses we beed given over the years why Oil has been on the rise.See if you remember these.


The war in Iraqi

Katrina

Terrorist Attacks.

Housing market effect the DOW

Feds keeping the rates low(Remeber the Federal Bank has nothing to do with the USA they are just a cenral Bank we borrow money with intrest which puts the country in more debt)

India & China

Weak Dollar.(Well when you have one central bank that controls your currencies worth thats what you get, especially when that company is private greed struck bankers like the Federal Bank)

Next time take a look at a dollar bill.Read where it says this is legal tender for private or public debt.Its not backed by anything its a piece of paper that someone(Federal bank) puts worth to it.Sure it's worth 1 dollar here, yet in other countries it's worth cents.


Final food for thought.Infrastructure is very important.Mass tranist is also the key.Why the fuck does NYC or big cities rely on cab services instead of bikes, trams, subways or trains.The street of NYC or any large city should be full of transportation other than cars.Just think about how much Oil/Gas would be saved.

I say line the deserts with Solar panals, harness the tides with underwater turbinds to created electric, put windmills up not made from steel but from carbon fiber.Look in to making Nuclear safe also.

We need more moeny into taking out waste products & using them to produce engery instead of wasting away in land fills.Use the waste product from corn intead of the food source to produce engery to fuel our cars along with Hemp.

We have the sources to become free of Oil, again invest in thewm to make it all worth it.
