Deck of Hillary
I recieved an email advertising advertising a deck of cards called a deck of Hillary, I would spell it Hellary. It exposes her most famous LIES. Although I have not seen them yet, I could give a good guess that the 2 "jokers" are Hellary and Bill--oops I mean Bull(shit). I better watch it, too much of renewable energy promotion may give GWB the mad cowboy disease.Bush trip to Saudi Arabia
After another unsuccessful meeting with Saudi oil mnister Ali al Naimi to get more "cheap" oil production convinces me that Bush is out for 1 thing, oil profits. Instead of depending on the cheap oil of the past, the emphasis needs to be renewable energy AND conservation. A few simple lifestyle changes and the results are tremendous. Instead of I agree but it's your responsibility make it I agree and it's OUR responsibility.Suspending the Gas Tax
After learning that Hillary Clinton wants to suspend the Federal Gas tax has made me realize what her campaign is all about. Half stories!Realistically the oil companies are going to see the opportunity to make extra profit. Invest the money instead in mass transit, energy efficiency, walkable communities, etc.
e-85
After learning the ingredients the Americans and Brazilians use to make ethanol makes me realize why some Americans are against it. The Brazilians use sugar cane wich produces almost twice the ethanol per acre on than our corn with less energy to harvest.Using switchgrass the gallons per acre is almost tripled and requires LESS water and fertilizer to grow.
Gas prices
As a barrel of oil floats around $100 a barrel and gas prices are around the $3.60 a gallon in Pennsylvania, More in other parts of the U.S..Will complaining about it change things? Of course the answer is NO! Driving the comfortable SUV everywhere when a fuel efficient car or better yet using mass transit, bicycles, our feet, etc while going for groceries, or other errands. I have been filling the gas tank about every two weeks instead of twice a week all because of using mass transit.
Primaries
As I watch the debates of the Republican and Democratic candidates and the news afterwards and a little of the who's accusing who of what and Bill Clinton stretching the truth. I get agitated. After all it does come down to the voters deciding on who gets elected. It is we the voters need to speak out and demand stick to the real issues. We the voters who with strength in numbers have to demand that change.The popular saying 4 years ago a vote for a third party candidate is a vote for Bush may have forgotten that a third party candidate got Bill Clinton in office with his first term. Remember Ross Perot?
