Excuse me. I’m going to need this to run my car.

wether we like it or not, fuel prices will keep on rising. so many factors pointed out which contributes to the crises. the main reason is simply the law of supply and demand.
the major oil players like OPEC are very smart that they are able to control the supply to make an artificial demand.
the best we can do is to conserve fuel by using less or none at all. stay away from those luxury cars..

I heard a story about some people putting together an engine of a car that somehow ran on human urine. It initially sounded a bit like science fiction. Until a person sees, sometimes certain things sound hard to believe. Yet, technology is evolving and we are repeatedly reminded that anything is possible. It begins in the mindset.

Clearly, synthetic fuel, like synthetic oil, is the answer. We can make synthetic blood, come on folks, let’s get it done.

I know that I ran across this at a later date…but what do you think of the fuel prices going on in these last couple weeks. Under 2 dollars, who would have ever thought when prices were at least doubled this summer. I’m afraid that it’s not going to last much longer though. Take a look at this post that I ran across on PetermansEye.com. I know all will enjoy!

A jeremiad concerning wasting time and keeping silent.
My not-so-great generation of elders will likely be remembered as the perpetrators of the most perverse, self-serving silence in human history. No other generation has taken so much from this good Earth, threatened the very future of its own children and given so little of themselves to preserve life for coming generations. Photographs of us will disclose both our corpulence and hollowness.
Although the disclosure of truth is unsettling, hiding the truth from the human community could be a monstrous example of human-driven foolery, one that could soon lead to a colossal ecological wreckage.
To suppress the truth by conscientiously substituting whatsoever could somehow be true with willful silence is tantamount to the commission of a pernicious lie.
A widely shared and consensually validated determination among people with knowledge to maintain their silence, when remaining silent betrays intellectual honesty, conceals the truth and thwarts courageous action, is the most dangerous of all global threats to the family of humanity, life as we know it and the preservation of Earth as a fit place for human habitation.
From this perspective, perhaps we can begin to apprehend the actual, most formidable enemy of future human wellbeing and environmental health.

Thanks for your clear voice.
More voices…….we need many more voices speaking out loudly and often. Time is being wasted by those with wealth and power who adamantly defend unsustainable status quo overconsumption, overproduction and overpopulation activities of the human species that are overwhelming and threatening to ravage the Earth in our time. Because these distinctly human activities could soon become patently unsustainable, necessary behavior change has to occur fast. If more members of the human family do not speak out to vigorously resist what the leaders of the human community are demanding all of us do now as we strive to ravenously overconsume Earth’s resources; to relentlessly hoard wealth; and to overproduce unnecessary stuff, then the planetary home we are inhabiting and overpopulating could be made uninhabitable for our children and life as we know it by 2012.
