Can anyone explain the rise in gas prices the day after the elections? I'm not looking for hearsay...I'd like documentation.

If I'm not mistaken, OPEC announced several weeks ago that it was going to reduce production again.....probably to drive up demand to increase profits.

It never ceases to amaze me.......we can put a man on the moon and return him safely using less electrical power than a modern PC, we have progressed computers to do complex calculations that in the 1950's took entire rooms to achieve, and we can put cameras, MP3 players, and DVD videos onto cell phones while making it so small that it is no bigger than a business card, but we can't find an alternative for the internal combustion engine. Hmmm, something fishy here????

You nailed it!

And, as long as we have a system based upon capitalism then that is exactly what we will have.

Call it fishy all you want, but the fact is there is not a better system that we can bring to market at a price point the world will pay.

Everyone is looking for a free lunch and there just isn't one. The petro fueled engine of today is more efficient than any other means of pushing 5000 lbs down the highway at 70 mph than anything out there.

Well knowing that the system is flawed and the average vehicle is only 10%-15% efficient (a near 100% efficient vehicle would get well over 1million miles per gallon of gasoline), this points out we definitely are a primitive society for staying $afe, not willing to push boundaries and being 'green' is a luxury. It's all Shan's fault.

The government knows that if an alternative fuel was mass produced for pennies, 1/8th of the worlds work force would be eliminated. That is a lot of money not going to the people and to the governments around the world.

Funny how the world is run by two entities, Governments and Churches/Religions, and they both want something from everyone..................MONEY!

Play the video on this page, kind of interesting. If this man sells this idea/patent, it will be shelved and forgotten about. Don't you think?

He has been in business since '97 and neither the auto industry or the welding industry has changed one iota.

You can buy is water machine now, he sells them on his website along with some other opportunities to invest.

I am thinking he was sitting in his car one nite hitting on his crack pipe real hard and thought he a driven a 100 miles and I am sure that in his mind he did...:D
