Oil Prices Have Tripled in the Last Two Years. But Relax, OPEC Has A Plan…

You’ll have to pardon my skepticism, but when I heard that OPEC said that the reason gas prices were going up is because of biofuels; I had to laugh.

All we have to do, according to OPEC, is eliminate their competition, and then they’ll just lower oil prices for us. Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it?

I mean, listening to OPEC about how to solve high gas prices is a bit like putting the wolf in charge of sheep security – dontcha think?

Talk about pushing your luck. Fortunately, the World BioFuels Industry has addressed these OPEC lies with an open letter published last week in the Financial Times. You can see the letter here at www.goodfuels.org/opec.

A New Use for My Weeds

So, they say you can make ethanol out of Switchgrass.

An interesting article written by DarkPalmer (http://darkpalmer.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/the-case-for-ethanol/) debunks a lot of the one-sided information coming to us from CNN and all the other mass media outlets.

I’m starting to think that if CNN says it, it must be bullshit.

Anyway, read the article, then sign the petition to get more attention on the positive aspects of ethanol.

Here’s a link to the petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/declare-july-4th-energy-independence-day
Here’s a link to the organization running it: http://www.drivingethanol.org/.

Now, if they could just figure out a way to use the Dandelions in my yard to make ethanol!
