A couple of days ago, congress called the big gas companies ceo's on the carpet to explain
their big profits during this time of economic slow down,and do they deserve the tax breaks they are getting.
The gas companies had answers for everything that congress threw at them and then told
the congress that it was their their fault for not letting them drill locally (US) because of
enviroment restrictions.
So who do we blame for these high gas prices? Do we blame the gas companies for wanting to
make a profit on the products that they produce?
Do we put the blame on the consumer for needing so much oil that the oil companies have to go to opec to buy the crude oil. Opec wants to make a profit to.
Do we let congress keep telling
us that we can't drill for oil here , keeping who happy, and the rest of us paying out the nose for a gallon of gas.
Now to research.
There is research being done in different fields of energy supply.
Power companies are using more and more wind power to supply their needs. Wind in my state
which is NM is constant and the power companies have set up big windmill farms that prduce power on a daily basis.
Research on replacing oil with an alternative fuel is ongoing, but making a product to take the place of millions of barrels of oil a day is going to be most difficult and very exspensive if not impossible.
I don't have the answers to all of these questions but I am looking into helping myself by adding
a hydrogen generator to my truck so it will get better gas mileage,burn cleaner,and a tax write off for going green. You might try it to.
