Yep...................be very very fucking afraid, folks.
The time to leave the big city and to learn to live independant of the great big industrialised world is NOW, people.....once the shit hits the fan, those who did not prepare to live will die screaming in food riots in the cities.
If you love your kids, and want them to have a place to live 50 years from now, buy land higher than 400 ft above sea level, build a house that doesn't need oil, gas or electric heat, and learn to grow yer own fucking food.....NOW.

I use premium so it runs like 20 cents more. This is getting stupid with gas getting towards the $4 range. I put $10 in my sisters 4 cylander and it gave it a quarter tank. Back in the day it would almost filled it. They better start raising wages or were all fucked.

we'll never run out of oil, it will just cost to much to pump it.... this has been know since the OPEC embargo, and nothing has been done about it.... (hubbert's curve)
sure a little has been done, but after OPEC lifted embargo, we went back to our old ways, we need Apollo type funding if we're going to really do anything... we put a man on the moon but we can't figure out our energy crisis????
one of the sad things is that the plant we all on this site love, can be converted to fuel, through celluosic (sp) fermentation, which ceates ethonal.... brazil uses sugar cane and is now selfsifient, when they use to be 80% dependant on foriegn oil??
that's why Dupont played a role in it becoming illegal in 1937, all their money was tied up in petro, when the equivlent to the cotton gin, was invented for cannabis.... petro is use in the manufacture of nylon, cannabis could have been used just as well, (cannabis can also be used to make plastics)and racism was the vessel that propelled the country to go along with it

This is why my next vehicle is going to be diesel.
Gonna have the vehicle pay for itself using biodiesel. Local Chinese place is going to pay me $100 bucks a week to cart off the waste oil from the fryers (2 50 gallon fryers), which I'll convert to biodiesel.
How to make BioDiesel
Way of the future IMHO. Plus, it'll run a diesel generator too, for whatever reason you'd want that :wink:

Yes, and it is a great source of oil for biodiesel. The plant is God's way of taking care of us and our needs but evil has declared an unwinable war on it. Biodiesel is the fuel of the future. It is easy to make and renewable. With biodiesel you can live off the grid. Now, I love that idea.
Summer gas sucks on two aspects: Not only are we paying an arm and a leg for it but with the removal of MTBE and replaced with ethanol, we will get less mileage too. Double wammy! We need more jobs that paid a livable wage. The war between the rich and poor is mounting more everyday. Guess who is losing?
Something has to change but I am ready,

Hit 3 bucks in Dallas this week, premium is $3.30. Its fucking insane, the oils companies have got us by the balls, I drive about a 1000 miles a week for work so its just killing me right now.
I'm sure most all of you have got one of these chain mail letters, this one does make sense if everyone did, but that will never happen but you can try. When I heard that Exxon/Mobil made like 435 billion profit or whatever it was I quit buying from them just for that reason, why the fuck should I help line there pockets even more.
I dont normally pass these thing on, but what the hell the people of this country need to do somthing......Dont have to pass this on if ya dont want, but the next time you get gas and there is a Mobil on one corner and another brand on the other, choose the other please....

i UNDERSTAND THAT THE CHINESE ARE TO BLAME..because of their explosive economy:wink: they have increased their use 10fold over paste 14 yrs and are stockpiling oil reserves and distrabution to support themselves...thats why oil is going thru the roof. between usa,china,japan and europe...its just a matter of time till "the levee breaks" so to speak.
The very simple fact of the matter is that the rampantly malignant and destructive way in which the "modern world" operates has to stop. Folks seem to think all we need is a new source of energy, so we can keep going.......BULLSHIT!!
Our entire economic and societal philosophy is based on ever increasing, unchecked and unlimited growth......something that is physically impossible in a finite resource system like a planet.
In nature, the only things that behaves in that way are malignant tumors.
Either we stop by or selves, or the planet will stop us by rendering itself uninhabitable for our species.

Biodiesel...I stumbled across this the other day,I'll post a snippet for your edification..
PORTLAND, Oregon -- A tiny chemical reactor that can convert vegetable oil directly into biodiesel could help farmers turn some of their crops into homegrown fuel to operate agricultural equipment instead of relying on costly imported oil.
"This is all about producing energy in such a way that it liberates people," said Goran Jovanovic, a chemical engineering professor at Oregon State University who developed the microreactor.
The device -- about the size of a credit card -- pumps vegetable oil and alcohol through tiny parallel channels, each smaller than a human hair, to convert the oil into biodiesel almost instantly.
