Some surprises for some people.

If he's not on T. Boon's payroll, he should be. Interesting piece.

Thats why I think electric cars are the way to go, at least you have some choice in how you power is produced. You can buy "green" electricity from Bullfrog power that they claim is from renewable sources. Not much choice in where your gas comes from. You can buy from some companies that use North American oil, but a lot of that comes from the oil sands, and that is a greenhouse gas disaster.

Or you could put 5 x 200 watt panels on your roof, do net metering, and that would be enough energy to cover about 7000 miles of driving in a year, completely green, (I guess except for the energy to make the panels).

You could have paid for those panels with those USO puts. You called the top and the down trend...
