I must admit I get disgusted at the rising of fuel prices. We have the technology to put a man on the moon, we can take a heart out of a person who no longer needs it into a person who does, we have so many other forms of technology that would make scientists, and inventors of the past awe struck. But yet we cannot create a fuel that's cheap to make and doesn't consume the earths fossil fuels.
The modern engine in our vehicles may have computers and other technology, but the basic principal of how a engine runs to make the car go is no different than it was Henry Ford was drawling up the Model A. A liquid that ignites that moves the pistons.
A chemist can't create a fuel to move a piston that's cheap to make?
Greed.
It's scary to see how rising gas and especially diesel prices are effecting everyone. A lady who works at the grocery store a few blocks away told me they cut all full time employees to under 40 hours. She said it was due to the rising cost of the stores products. It takes trucks, trains, and ships that all run on diesel to distribute that gallon of milk, or that can of soup we buy at the supermarket. This is a major chain supermarket, imagine what it's doing to all the "mom and pop" owned shops.
But someone, somewhere is getting richer off it.
I have to accept it. I can only pray. Praying is always free!!! (At least it is in America)
Sorry if this sounds like a rant, I'm really not resentful, honest!!!! lol.
