Looks like GE has created a test machine to cheaply produce hydrogen fuel.

This means maybe we can finally kick the oil habit.
Does this mean we will have to buy it from Iran? Here we go again.

I've heard of an interesting site called www.peakoil.com but haven't gotten around to checking on it. Anyone heard of it or checked it out?

Some time ago I had predicted a type of "RV Musical Chairs", where you and your RV are marching around as the "Oil Price Music plays. (everyone scoffed)

When the music (too high a price for gas) stops will you be in an area or RV Park that you would want to stay in for an extended period or permanently.

If, as some say, the "Gas Price Bubble" bursts then things will change a little for the better.

This is a whole new era we are entering and things will never again be the same.

I saw a Power Boat Repo man last night and he is thriving instead of starving.

The age of Robin Hood ahs begone. Taking from the rich and giving to the poor.

Never did like that Robin Hood guy. Why didn't he just get a job instead of stealing?

People living in 1929 thought they had it bad, wait till 2009 is here and see what a true recession is all about.

I see a prediction of $150 a barrel by July 4th - the market tanked, of course.
