Idea for energy thread?

[Luke]

After spending more for gasoline to mow the yard then I did for beer to mow the yard it is becoming more and more appearent how deep in do-do our energy problem is becoming. I would hate to clutter the board with too many threads, however I believe the energy crisis has become a threat to national security.

If Neal Boortz is correct and we as a nation are consuming LESS oil than a year ago, and the price per barrel has dropped this week, it seems odd to me that gasoline prices have not dropped at all.

I noticed several wind farms in my trip out west this year. I am inclined to think T.Boone Pickins may have a good idea. I am curious how other board members feel about T. Boone Pickins ideas.

Having said that I also am aware of all the abandonded windmills dotting the landscape here in the midwest. I believe at one time most all farms used wind power for pumping water. Perhaps the technology has improved since then as most of the wind farms I saw were HUGE affairs, towering hundreds of feet in the air.

I'm not cutting the yard this year.

I refuse.

And the bitch-across-the-street can kiss my Royal Ass if she doesn't like it.

Watch for sudden increase in gasoline prices as Hurricane Dolly approaches Mex/Tex coast. If I were still a gambling kind of guy I would bet on at least a nickle increase.
