Rising Fuel Prices And How (wildlife creatures) They Affect Society
No commentsBy GARKO
The ramifications of unprecedented gas prices easily escape a cursory view.
How many more freeways must turn into parking lots because some unfortunate soul ran out of oil at the wrong time?
How many additional cars will be left stranded by the roadside, burnt out and gutted because the driver could not keep up with the price of insurance and gasoline?
How does one quantify or measure the number of ruined days, accidents, arguments brought on by skyrocketing oil prices?
Any time one starts to engage with other people beyond their immediate circle then they are impacting lives in ways unseen.
I had a somewhat popular ebook on traffic shortcuts in Los Angeles. It sold a few copies. Too few! lol
I would occasionally wonder whimsically if I had sent anyone off their usual path to some serendipitous event, good or bad.
Take that small example and compare it to how many lives are affected in so many different ways by the out of control rise in gas prices
Life is a series of probabilities, causes which cause other things which take us down roads that hold surprises. That is the plus and the minus.
So what really is the cost of rapidly rising oil prices?
And more importantly steps do we need to take as individuals to cease being robbed by large corporations and money manipulation?
Some may say that there is nothing that we can do.
But such people are already dead and they are just waiting for someone to come along with a shovel.
In this world there are cures for cancer to be found if one doesn’t take no for an answer, just as there solutions to global warming, the environmental disaster of New Orleans and the health problems of the 911 first responders if these problems would just be confronted and the solutions applied, a solution exists also to free us from slavery to the oil pump.
Did you know you can lower the gas consumption of a vehicle with water? A hybrid engine using both oil and water can be installed quite easily. A fully hydrogen engine system can be implemented with just a bit more know how, resourcefulness and effort.
It is worth it in terms of a higher balance in your bank account, a cleaner environment, a happier car and in so many unforeseen ways that could have positive ramifications that it really is wise to make the small investment of time and caring to get your car converted to a hydrogen system.
Entrepreneur, consumer advocate, songwriter and activist, GARKO, shows you how to increase power and save gas and how to run a car on hydrogen from water which is the best of the ways to save big on gas

The Conservation Policies Of Presidential Candidates
By Scott Miscall
We all know our Earth is in serious trouble. If there is one person who can really turn around things in our country it is the president. With elections round the corner and a line-up of presidential candidates, don’t all of us want to know who truly supports the green movement? Here’s a run down on the top candidates and their perspective of the environment:
Hillary Clinton
She has been known for citing serious environmental hazards in all of her speeches. However, it wasn’t until late 2007 that she actually drafted a comprehensive solution to the problem. This plan is essentially more like a cap trade mechanism which aims at reducing emissions by as much as 80%! A two-pronged approach focusing on investment and efficiency seems to be the primary strategy as of now. While the efficiency focus deals with elevating standards on vehicles, buildings etc. investment would focus on aspects like hybrids that are pluggable and also ensuring carbon seizures. Plans are also in the initial stages to form a NEC (National Energy Council) of sorts in order to segregate the responsibilities amongst agencies of the federal government. Clinton’s plan is pretty similar to the other presidential candidate lineups. However, it remains to be seen if any real implementation happens.
Barack Obama
Barack has been seen touting the usage of liquefied coal at one point which earned him a black mark amongst the green movers. Throughout his campaign he did not really devote time to focus on aspects about the environment or energy. It was only later during October 2007 that he finally released a detailed plan on energy conservation. In addition to the cap trade system promoted by Clinton, Obama also cited an investment of 150 billion to facilitate more green employment opportunities. His detailed plan also enlists aspects on improving efficiency creating a smarter electricity grid system and promoting public transportation.
John McCain
John McCain has been one of the few presidential candidates to truly voice his opinion on global warming issues. In 2003 he brought out the Climate Stewardship Act which was produced in 2005 and yet again in 2007. This proposal also focused on cap trade mechanisms while also cutting down emissions by 65%. He believes fuel efficiency must be raised in a gradual fashion instead of taking dramatic steps to change the existing system.
Ralph Nader
Ralph Nader is an Independent but has managed to carve a name for himself as far as environment protection measures are concerned. In the initial days of his career he started a movement that aimed at getting consumer protection and environment laws passed in parliament. He was also instrumental in getting acts such as Clean Water and Clean Air passed. Till date Nader has voiced his opinion strongly against the funding in favor of nuclear supplies. In addition Nader is also strongly against industries that pollute the environment. He believes aspects like imposition of carbon tax will help protect the environment to a certain extent. He also advocates the usage of solar power as an alternative fuel source.

Reflecting On The Societal Impact Of Unprecedented Fuel Prices
By GARKO
There are millions of drivers on the American roads and each has an individual story about how the unprecedented price of gasoline affects their own personal lives.
How many backed up parkways must turn into parking lots because some person with limited resources and judgement took that moment at the wrong time?
How many more skeletons of gasoline guzzlers will there be strewn along on the Belt Parkway from our good neighbors who afford monthly auto payments and the cost of gas?
How does one quantify or measure the number of ruined days, accidents, arguments brought on by skyrocketing gasoline prices?
Once an individual of conscience starts having an effect on outside of their friends and family they start to see that their actions have unforeseen consequences.
Back a year or two ago I had an ebook I was selling which shared my secrets to getting around LA traffic. It sold a few copies. Too few! lol
Sometimes I would get the idea what if someone I sent down some road somewhere on some search for the holy shortcut wound up in good or bad circumstances because of my little ebook! .
Take that small example and compare it to how many lives are affected in so many different ways by the out of control rise in gas prices
Life is a series of probabilities, causes which cause other things which take us down roads that hold happy and scary encounters. That is the plus and the minus.
So, again, what really is the price to society of the skyrocketing gasoline prices?
And how do we, as individuals, as pieces in the dominoes game of life that still manage to have self determinism take the right actions so as to stop being ripped off by large corporations and con jobs?
There are those who reject that they have self determinism or that their self determinism is sufficient to make any great changes in their fate.
But such people are already dead and they are just waiting for someone to come along with a shovel.
There are modern miracles there are cures for cancer to be found if one does some looking into the existing alternatives, just as there solutions to global warming, the environmental waste of New Orleans and the health problems of the 911 first responders if one doesn’t take no for an answer and the solutions applied, a solution exists also to emancipate us from slavery to the gasoline pump.
Did you know you can lower the gas consumption of a gasoline guzzler with water? A hybrid engine using both gasoline and water can be installed quite easily. A fully hydrogen based system can be implemented with just a bit of study, resourcefulness and effort.
It is worth it in terms of more money in your pocket, a cleaner environment, a happier automoblie and in so many unforeseen ways that could have positive ramifications that it really is wise to make the small investment of time and caring to get your automoblie modified to a hydrogen system.
