If you want to see something cool, here is a car that runs on compressed air.  Cost is $3500 Euros, made in France by the Grand Prix racers & engineers.  It Goes 80mph & 300 Miles on 1 charge.

There a story  yesterday in TX about a man  that bought an Eagle Talon for $750.  He Took out the engine & put in an electric motor.  Cost was $4000.  It Goes 300 miles on a charge & cost him $7 a month in batteries & charging. Car does speeds of 55mph.  

We have the technology. Oil Companies discourage & even buy up the technology,  to keep it from getting to market. They are making records profits at this time. Millions of dollars per hour they are making, Billions per month.

Vargas-This is for you.   Who exactly is running US Foreign Policy these days?

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert proposed in talks with a U.S. congressional leader that a naval blockade be imposed on Iran to try to curb its nuclear program, an Israeli newspaper reported Wednesday.

The Haaretz daily quoted Olmert as telling Nancy Pelosi that "the present economic sanctions have exhausted themselves" and the international community needed to take more drastic steps to stop Iran's efforts to obtain nuclear weapons.

Iran is NO Iraq. 3xs the size, Millions of fighters & any "Strategic attack" which is a sanitizing term fr dropping bombs on innocent familes, will be treated like a full scale invasion.   Ironically, the NIAE states Iran has No Nukes, unlike Israel, who DOES have Nukes & doesnt disclose them or abide by the Non proliferation treaty.

"Chief Rabbi Metzger thanks Bush for intervening in Iraq

M. Wagner -- Jerusalem Post 1/9/2008

During a short verbal exchange Wednesday at the Ben Gurion Airport Terminal, Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi Yona Metzger thanked George Bush for the US's military intervention in Iraq.

"I want to thank you for your support of Israel & in particular for Waging a War against Iraq," Metzger told Bush, according to the chief rabbi's spokesman.

Bush answered that the words "Warmed His Heart".

-Lets see.... $600+ Billion in Iraq, No progress, no benchmarks, no functioning government, no safety & an economy collapsing at home,  while we are being invaded on the OPEN Border.  You have just entered another dimension of THE TWILIGHT ZONE..Have fun at the pumps.

blueshep and s vargas-  I too can sympathize with you both.  We have a commercial contracting business as well and are feeling the sting on the gas prices. I think I needed nitroglycerine for myself the other day when I opened up the fuel credit card bill from everyone's vehicles just for one month.  The suppliers are forced to put fuel surcharges on everything now where as before you'd just get charged a flat delivery fee regardless of how big or small the delivery.  Most of my suppliers never even charged us for delivery because we dealt in large enough volume but now they've sent out "I" sorry we have to do this BUT" letters regarding fuel surcharges.  We in turn have to make up for this additional cost and pass it on to the client who's forever bitchin we charge too much to begin with. lol  It's just a never ending circle.

I think I'm gonna have to invent a Hybrid skid loader and dumpt truck.

Nice article about the 15 Car Parks operating in Santa Barbara California now..

Yep, people forced to  sleeping in their cars, in one of the richest cities across America.  Get used to it folks, and its only getting started.

We have seen a difference in our training group and at trials already!  We used to have a good turn out for training and trials and now we have only a few regulars.

Agar, I can relate to the nitroglycerine thing. I felt the same way. I have been in bus for 20 years and have a lot of contacts so we stay very busy. I'm thankful I am not starting a business now. I live in Ohio and we had to go to Detroit last winter for a job because we do work for this company in Ohio. I thought is was bad here until we went to Michigan, I felt sorry for the contractors up their. They told me it was the best job they had in two years. They also said they didn't have anything worth  while after that job was finished. I also worry what our kids will have to deal with when they are on their own.  I hire college kids for summer help and quite a few are back this year because they can't find work after graduating college. Plus their in debt for school.

Ugly, I always read your posts and sometimes I agree with you, sometimes not. I wish you were a little more on the positive  side. People get enough negative shit from the news media. I really doubt gas will go to 12 to 15 dollars per gallon. My 70 year old Mother calls me every other day and and tells me what she saw on CNN. I'm going to get rid of her TV because they scare her with all the garbage and scare tactics they run all day long.

OK enough whining from me, I hope everyone has a great memorial day weekend..............................

There is no oil shortage and never was.  The USA went through this in the early 1900 and after they realized the standrad oil crtel was strangling the life out of the country, congress broke it up after we darned near had a revolution over it.  People just refused to take it any more and the oil cartel was broken up.  Since then oil companies have again cannibalized the small independent oil drillers in kansas, oklahoma, texas and formed another cartel which must be broken up.  Problem is that they have bought off most members of congress, paid for the environmental movement, the animal rights movement, epa, and much more, and kept any new refineries from being built for over 29 years.  A well known professor at the univ of chicago studied this and found iron clad evidnce that everyu time the price of oil went too low, there was a mysterious refinery fire, or a tanker spill.   I remember the oil shortages of the past in early 1970's and 1980's when cars lined up.  I personally witnessed the loil tankers low in the water (full of oil) off galveston, texas and heard about all the wells being capped to create the illusion of an oil shortage.  A couiple of years ago Russia discovered and underground river of flowing oil, one of the world's greatest deposits, enough for 30 years oil.  The worl is literally awash in oil and it appears to be self renewing, contrary to what is being taught.  It is not a result of decay of fossils as is being taught but is a mineral that was formed by heat and pressure. 

Here is the ugly truth, the dollar has been purposely deflated to drive the price of oil up and to collapse our economy.  Right now you are witnessing the single biggest restructuring of our nation economically since the great depression of 1929.  The overall end game/purpse/goal is to globalize the usa by destroying it and forming the Norh American Union (NAU consisting of Canada, USA and Mexico).  The agreement has already been signed and the union is scheduled to take place in the year 2010.   It has already been decided that the govt will be taking control of all food, all water and all energy in the near future. We will be reduced to a third world nation soon.  Get used to the idea or "vote em all out".  That is get all the "enemies within", these "bought off" traitors out of Congress and govt.  Our own govt has declared war on the people and if the people don't stand up and do something soon we will be reduced to pawns in a fascist regime.

Gas is a major issue for me...I have to drive to get the dog food I like to feed my dogs, have an hours commute to work each way, (both my husband and I), relatives far away...This country has been ruined. When business' collapse, commerce as we know it ceases, consumers become stranded in their suburban homes.....and chaos reigns; who will buy the oil then? Every tankful we buy today pads the pockets of the economic terrorists raping the American public. The apathetic American public is just about fed up---the public's rage is building, finally. Ya'll just can't imagine how pissed off this makes me.....we have the fuel, we have the resources to make fuel, but we export it, & import foreign oil....and our government doesn't give a good God damn, why should they? They're getting rich off us, too. God save America.....I get so upset  I can't think straight! Arrrrrrgh! jh

Maybe the tree huggin libs should just let us drill our own oil then we would be fine. 

What do the studies show?  Enough oil in ANWR for what, 4 years?  7 years?  And then we do this all again?  Destroy ANWR?  No thanks.  The oil companies made $36 BILLION in profits in Jan-Feb-March of 2008.  Not earnings, PROFITS.  And you think drill for a temporary respite in ANWR and we'll be fine?

And the dollar tanked against the Euro LONG LONG before the mortgage crisis.  Get your facts straight.
 

Truth is that basically opec hasn't raised it prices much in the last 10 years if you peg them to gold, silver or platinum.  What has happened is that the central banks of europe, UK and USA have printed too much money out of thin air, with the usa the worse abuser of "fractional fiat currency".  The EU denies this trying to promote the idea that their system is all backed by gold, but that is not true, it is fiat too and they have issued (created) too much curreny as has the UK.  Then add the middlemen the oils speculators who are agents or buyers of the oil cartel, through enron type games they drive up the price of oil to astronomical levels, which doesn't take much since the dollar today is only worth 60% of what it was before the pres entered office.  That is like an armed robber coming to visit you tonight an robbing you of 40% of all your wealth, of everything you worked for all your life.  And the robber wasa your own govt and it agent banking system which debased the money on purpose to force feed us globalism and a new NAU (North American Union for 2010).   But don't take my word for it, read the writings (and letters) of Thomas Jeferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, and George Washington and the other founding fathers. What this is can best be understood by reading about the savings and loan scandal (see Pete Brewton's book), the enron scam.  This current oil price rise is notghing but another higher order savings and oan, enron type govt based bustout to transfer all the value from the people to the large int'l merchant bankers and global corporations.  Wake up foks and vote em all out at every election.  Don't ever vote for any politician that voted this crap in and didn't protect us (except for Ron Paul and only about three others who tried buut got nowhere).

Mark my words, if things don't change fast to stop the complete econnomic destruction of the USA, there will be no Dog Sports at all except for the ultra rich.
