Alternative Fuel

Gas PricesI’ve been ranting for quite a while about how our Government is really not serious about researching alternative fuel sources other than oil. It is my firm belief that Capitol Hill has been “Bought & Paid For” by special interest groups. No serious laws get passed, no serious money is allocated for research, all we get is a little bit of “Lip Service” from the President every year in his State Of The Union Address about how we need to do this.

Meanwhile, we continue to put money into the coffers of the Middle East. This is the same region of the world that is sending our Soldier’s home in body bags. Ironic, isn’t it? The fuel our country so desperately craves is fueling their war against us as well.

Who is swallowing the “Kool-Aid” that these people in the Middle East like us? They hate us! We represent everything that is unholy to them. They despise our culture, attire, morals, art, media, literature and code of laws. We are the “Great White Satan” to them. Your average radical Arab feels no remorse in killing a United States Citizen. In fact, they see it as their Duty for God. We are not “human” to them, we are akin to one of their sheep or camels. This is what we are up against folks. We’ve taken an area of the world with an archaic mentality and infused it with a huge flow of cash.

We cannot be compatible with these people. They are hundreds of years behind us in “Evolution” if that is what you wish to call it. Think about it, there was a time in the United States were Women were treated more like property than an equal. It was less than a Century ago that women won the right to vote! It really wasn’t that long ago that stealing a Man’s horse would earn you a hang-man’s noose in the center of town. Our Civilization has grown past this value system where as the third world mentality in the Middle East has not.

So it’s all about the Oil folks, it really has always been about the Oil. The “Great White Satan” has to flex its military might to protect our “Interests”. But I ask you, does it have to be about the Oil? Here, watch….

This Video.(sorry about the quality)

Here’s a fella that’s taken water, the earth’s most abundant and clean resource. Three fourths of the planet is covered in it… and he’s figured out a way to make a vehicle go 100 miles on a half cup! He seems to be just your “Average Joe” Inventor. It appears that this endeavor might have started in his basement. One would think that something this spectacular would have come from the endless resources of our Government. One would think that a discovery this groundbreaking would be front page news in every media outlet across the world.

Sadly, I suspect that the people in power haven’t figured out a way to convince us that we need to pay for the water that would fuel our vehicles. See what a pessimist I’ve become?

    Maybe, when we can not breath, our Government will get serious about find another way to run the engines of the world. MOM

    That was quite interesting.

    I can see how that might not appeal to the oil people in the middle east, they live in the desert!

    However, it seems that a little water goes a long way. :)

    BUT how do you REALLY feel, Mike? :)

    Seriously, this is a very interesting topic. Alternative fuels along with global warming are the next frontier. You can’t tell me that the country that put a man on the moon, and brought you the computer, for Heaven’s sake, can’t find an alternative source for fuel.

    HBO has a very interesting documemtary on lately called, “Too Hot not to Handle”. It deals with global warming and the need for alternative fuel. Very well put together and very interesting.

    I have a childhood friend who is now working at Sandia National Laboratories. Pam tells me that they are developing a solar dish network, in the desert, that could provide power to the whole of the USA. Pretty amazing! They are also working on a means to provide solor power from panels in outer space. [Insert Star Trek Theme here!]

    I guess the bottow line is that we have lots of options besides fossel fuels and it’s time we MADE our government, the government We support with our tax dollars, explore and develope these areas so that we might be free of our dependency on OPEC and for the good of future generations.
