The high cost of fuel this past year did serious damage to our economy and society. After a brief reprieve gas prices are inching back up again. Our nation should not allow other nations to have such power over us and our economy . We have so much available to us in the way of technology and free sources of energy. WE seriously need to get on with becoming an energy independent nation. We are spending billions upon billions in bail out dollars. Why not spend some of those billions in getting alternative energy projects set up. We could create clean cheap energy, millions of badly needed new green jobs and lessen our dependence on foreign oil all in one fell swoop. I just read an eye opening book by Jeff Wilson called The Manhattan Project of 2009. It would cost the equivalent of 60 cents per gallon to drive and charge an electric car.If all gasoline cars, trucks, and SUV's instead had plug-in electric drive trains, the amount of electricity needed to replace gasoline is about equal to the estimated wind energy potential of the state of North Dakota. Why don't we use some of the billions in bail out money to bail us out of our dependence on foreign oil? This past year the high cost of fuel so seriously damaged our economy and society that the ripple effects will be felt for years to come. www.themanhattanprojectof2009.com>
People this past year have had to tighten their belts to make up for the exorbitant cost of fuel.The high cost of fuel in turn raised the prices of every consumer product from farming &shipping food, to producing and shipping other products.Electric companies passed on their higher production costs with large rate increases. We have spent less because we had less to spend.We quit eating out as much or at all, quit going to the movies, quit buying new products and only stuck to the bare necessities.Now it is being reported a lot of people have had to stop taking necessary medications because they can't afford them. That in turn has caused job losses. Just as gas prices start to fall some and they are still no where near cheap, OPEC cuts production of oil by 1.5 million barrels a day. There is no end in sight in this situation. We spent 168 Billion on the last stimulas pkg. That could have gone a long way toward getting some alternative energy set up such as wind or solar or getting the price of electric cars more affordable to buy. It would cost the consumer the equivalent of 60 cents per gallon to charge and drive an electric car. Why doesn't our country invest in getting us out of this mess instead of their quick fixes that don't work? Just read a fascinating book The Manhattan Project of 2009 by Jeff Wilson . Every member needs to read this book too, and fast! www.themanhattanprojectof2009.com>
Just as gas prices start to fall slightly and we felt like there might be hope along comes Ike and causes them to spike to an all time high. Families everywhere are wondering where else they can cut back to cover the cost of fueling up the family vehicle to get back and forth to work and take care of the necessities of life. There is no money left for relaxation and family fun. The stress level continues to rise. Most areas of the country have seen a sharp rise in their electric bill as power companies pass their increased production costs on to consumers. The price of a gallon of milk is almost as precious as a gallon of gas. The cost of every consumer product has risen sharply. Americans are stretched to the limit. Jobs are being lost, foreclosures are increasing at an alarming rate. Seems even the family pets are suffering the high cost of fuel as almost daily a sad new story is on TV about shelters being forced to euthanize record number of surrendered pets from those forced out of their homes due to foreclosure or they simply can't afford to feed them anymore. The energy crisis in our country is far reaching and needs immediate attention. Our economy is in a sorry state of affairs directly related to the high cost of fuel. We have become so dependant on foreign oil that we have neglected to fully utilize such natural sources of energy such wind power & solar power. Along with modern technology such as plug in cars, hybrid cars, v2g technology ,and regenerative braking, technology we still seem to be floundering as a nation as to devising the best plan utilize all that is available to us and lift ourselves out of this mess we are in. We need to take our closest look at which candidates put our economy and energy crisis at the forefront of their agenda. The Manhattan Project of 2009 by Jeff Wilson pretty much says it all...
