Presidential candidate Ron Paul, the CIA and the 911 Commission have all indicated that the reason why terrorists would attack America is because of ?blowback?. A term meaning unintended consequences to America's foreign policy policies due to our aggressions in all regions of the world including the Middle East. If you have troops in 130 countries, have bombers fly over sovereign countries, exercise antagonistic trade policies, prop up dictators such as in Pakistan and other places then there will be unintended consequences.
As part of the blowback against anything American, countries like Venezuela and even Kazakhstan (primarily known in the Western world as the ?home? of outrageous comedic creation ?Borat?) have been taking increasingly aggressive stances against Western Oil companies.
One Western oil company entity was sued $600 million by Kazakhstan for something to do with sulfur while drilling hasn't even started in the country. Another entity has already been billed $7 billion for delays and cost overruns. This was a conglomerate including American companies and Western European companies. Meanwhile, Hugo Chavez has kicked several Western companies out of his country and there is concern about less than friendly actions taken against Western oil companies in Russia.
Meanwhile, rather than heed the warnings of Presidential candidate Ron Paul, the 911 Commission and of the Founding Fathers, the ?neoconservatives? (which include frontrunners McCain and Hillary and any other war mongers) are talking about staying in Iraq for 10-100 years and are still determined to bomb Iran.
So what does this mean for thee and me?
First it means that you are a silly optimist or are walking around with blinders if you expect fuel prices to do anything but continue to rise rapidly.
It also means that ?we are never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy? And, in this instance, ?a little crazy? means willing to do something different. Many people are doing something different with their car engines and are discovering that by doing this they freeing themselves from being a slave to oil companies and fuel prices.
They are converting their fuel engines to hydrogen engines fully or as a hybrid. Of course, this is done by using water to generate hydrogen fuel. It is remarkably easy, inexpensive and beneficial to do this conversion.. Benefits include greater fuel consumption in a hybrid or totally doing away with the need to buy fuel at all in a full conversion, also a better, cooler, happier running automoblie and no harmful emissions for the environment. I strongly suggest you research the subject. The information is easily accessible and you will be surprised at how easy it is to opt out of the fuel economy.
