oil tops 127 - when will congress get off the dime

Published May. 13, 2008

So how high do you think gas needs to get before Congress wakes up and realizes we need to go after all of our own resources in every way possible?  That guy in Iran is crazy like a fox. Every so often he rattles a cage and helps push up the price. In the meantime we still hear no to drilling in places were we can get more crude. There are lots of other options to be done that would help us, along with trying to come up with viable alternatives. I am writing e-mails frequently to members of congress.  I urge you to join in.

Congress does't care... they are making millions off of their Exxon Mobil stock! Likewise, do you think Dick Cheney and George Bush really care about high oil prices?... they are making tons of money.

...our species had to strike a spark to create fire before we invented the laser....

...someone had to believe the earth was not flat and have the determination to find out what was beyond the horizon...

...some bicycle builders had to believe flight was possible...

...but we had to get off the horse first.

...extending parameters on sensors and computer management system is not beyond capabilities. Hybridizing can also bridge the gap, until efficiency of new systems is mass produced. We had to start with the model T to get to the new Corvette.

...oil based fuels would still be necessasary for airlines and existing mass transportation for years yet. The existing oil supplies ARE limited and finite. Boeing and Lockheed are working on solid fuels for pulse jet engines. Aurora should pave the way.

...the possibility of making my own hydrogen in my driveway is not so far fetched. The production at service stations on a larger scale reduces the transportation costs and extends the distance we could travel as well. With water as the raw material source, I don't need to be concerned with geopolitical abnormalities as well.

...the number of moving parts is greatly reduced.

I did not mean that the Government should be involved in any retooling. I was thinking more about how long would it take people to decide to make the move. Before I would do anything with my own vehicle I would have to have a level of confidence that whatever the change was, that it would be something that had some shelf life. If I invested say a couple of thousand to modify my vehicle in some way, I would not want to invest it on something that would not give me a reasonable number of service years on the vehicle.
