How Does the Price of Gas Effect YOUR budget?

You mean the Peanut Farmer that ended up having a 21% prime interest rate, gas lines around the corner, double digit inflation and unemploymentt around 9%?

and you wanted us to listen to him?

 

We did, that's why we have so many coal power plants for electricity.

 

You must be completely against all forms of welfare including food stamps then. Those people should just "budget" better.

 

Yeah well allz I gotz to say is, I'm gonna keep researching ways to make fuels at home that are less expensive per mile than Big Oil's gouging tentacles.

 

Green...Don't forget that in you quest for inexpensive fuel.....green is the word. There was a issue of Popular Mechanics back in the early 70's that was devoted to being completely independent of any outside need for energy and food. From hydroponics, to building solar cells to heating, cooling and powering your car from hydrogen by-products. I'd like to find a copy of that baby.

 

The problem is simply this:

Most people aren't willing to spend that much time and effort, and don't have the knowledge, to do those things.

My suggestion has for long been: nuclear energy and artificial mass-produced carbohydrates that can be used to make mass quantities of combustible alcohol of some kind.

There's also using water currents (from seas, oceans etc.) to power mechanical turbines which can lead to electricity production.

 

Environmentalists would be on you like teeny hairs on a fly's back for even suggesting that. Just like building domes over dumps to capture methane. Take some time and Google Research the various ways of producing clean affordable "green" energy that can't get a foothold because 'environmentalists' (that demand that green technology) object.

 

Well based on these forums, the problem with alternative energy isn't "environmentalists", because most "environmentalists" (whom I do not identify with) tend to be against Big Fossil Fuel.

The problem is people who support Big Fossil Fuel.
