The place where I get diesel went up 14 cents a gallon two days ago!!
(they are charging the same for gas)

You know, on a personal note, I know you guys are used to me ranting about biodiesel, so I'll tell you a slightly embarassing little story.

I read the above article just now, and when I turned to tell my girlfriend about it she grinned, and said, "Yeeesss?" I started to tell her about the article, and she just had this huge smile on her face, and said, "continue..." and then I finally said something to the effect of, "Yay, biodiesel" and she said, "AH HA!!! I read that same article this morning, and when I read it I thought to myself, 'Sam is gonna read the article then make a comment about biodiesel'." And she was right.. So you aren't the only ones who hear it from me all the time.

peace,
Sam

Spread the word Sam. Personally I can’t wait until fuel gets to the $5.00 a gallon range. It’s completely insane that in the age of computers we are still burning fossil fuels. The only reason for this is it’s cheaper to do this (with low fuel prices) than it is to change technology. Even as much as I hate the damage it does to the economy and how the wrong people get rich off of oil, these high gas prices are going to lead us to the right direction.

FYI seven out of the ten largest companies in the world either sell oil or cars. You think this has anything to do with it?

Sam and others you might like this video I made a while back for a school project. Some of the stuff on nuclear power has to do with my local area, but with 210 nuclear power plants on mainland US I am sure we can all relate.

SORRY TO THOSE WITH DIAL-UP IT WONT WORK ON YOUR COMPUTER

Today, BD is over 3.50 a gal. How is that any better? Sure, it is easy to say "change technology". How to do it is totally different. Look at Germany where the fuel prices are so high and diesel is lower. Yet with all that, they are only at 40% for passenger vehicles. Even there, diesel is not the answer to every question. Now, with diesel the way it is over here, how would you implement it short of outlawing everything that uses fossil fuels and having something that is practical and economical in place.

I wouldn't worry about the right direction. If it goes to $5 a gal this summer, we will probably have an economic collapse. Now, if it slowly goes up, I wouldn't worry about it. Back in 91, I got gas for about $1 a gal. In 98 it was closer to $1.50. That with all the squealing. However, I don't know about you but I was paid $5 more in 98 than 91 too. When you get a raise, do you scream about it too? IOW, it falls under "What's your's is mine and what's mine is mine." doesn't it? You expect to get paid more each year or you look for a diffrernt job. However when the seller expects to get more, it is a crime onto humanity itself, right? Nice double standard. I expect to make more money this year than the last and more next year than this year. So does the worker involved in the gasoline chain. As such, costs go up and we pay more. What's your point? Would you accept the same pay as you did 20 years ago? I wouldn't. Why should they?

And before you say it, I don't work for any oil company nor do I have any affiliations with them other than as a consumer.
