Electric Vehicles

1. Electric Vehicles The economy is down, and so is the fuel consumption, creating falling prices at the pump. At least for the time being. This is as usual a double sided sword..on one side the market is flooded with oil, what forced the OPEC last week to drop their production of over 2 million barrels a day with the hope to stem the falling price of their commodity, on the other side, there are thousands of people laid off, even in China... The squeeze is on, the economies around the globe are down and the consumption of oil is therefor also down. For the first time in the longest time, OPEC is no longer on the lever of control; a new force has come to the field: The consumer! How long will the consumer be in control? Well that depends on who you ask. Not too long ago, the spigot was turned off, and we had to walk a few times. It was then argued, that the United States would be well off by having an "Energy Policy". President Carter was laughed at, and his words of warning fell on deaf ears. Of course, the Oil and Car Barron's didn't want to have any part of it either and oil was dirt cheap! Fast forward 3 decades, and a few more speculators at Wall Street, the Oil reached an unbelievable hight of $145 per barrel, making us pay as much as $4.60 per gallon of fuel at the pump. Two years ago, VP Cheney met behind closed doors to discuss energy policy, but of course with secretly invited guests from

Then we have a lame duck in the white house who sold us on "security", and now we export the biggest heap of money to the exact same people who we are supposed to be in danger of.

It was built alright, but even then the Oil and Car Barron's wanted nothing to do with. The car was later retro fitted it into a golf cart and presented to the President as a gift. Translated into today's rude language it would say something like: "Stiff it, Pal!" Knowing fair well, the people have no say when it comes to this very important topic, there are alternatives. As technology has advanced very rapidly and news spread instantaneously, entrepreneurship is well and alive! Many of your beloved vehicles can now be converted into alternative fuel guzzlers with some effort. Not only will we see a completely new industry evolve, we will benefit for ages to come by breathing healthier air, taking care of our planet in a responsive way, thus creating thousands of new jobs and reducing our dependence of oil. We will always be in need of oil, but we can bring it down to a manageable level and keep more $$ at home than to export it to rouge countries!
