Gas, Hydrogen, Spare Tires, Oil Barons; Dumb Politicians; Am I Going CRAZY, or What?

By Milton Snide

Some not so random thoughts.

? – Is the US under the collective non-leadership of under-trained and just plain dumb politicians on its way to becoming a Third-World like country? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

?- Just three weeks after Katrina, Rita has come along to allow those in charge to prove to the world and their employers (all if us here in the U.S.) that they have their plans together. OOPS! – Why didn’t anyone taking a paycheck figure out and plan to supply the massive amount of gasoline that would be needed by hundreds of thousands of cars crawling along the Interstates trying to flee from the storm? How could these disaster professionals allow the long lines and empty tanks to happen? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

? – Yesterday I attended a press event in Detroit that demonstrated how easily the world could move to a renewable energy future...a future that would allow drivers to fill up their HYDROGEN-HYBRIDS at a real GAS STATION or even at their home H2 POWER STATION, and drive without worrying about pollution and a dependence on despots and monopolies for the privilege.

So who is benefiting from this country’s dependence on Oil as the engine that drives our cars, trucks and economy...Who is preventing the Great Lakes and every faucet from becoming this nations Hydrogen energy source? The misinformation and propaganda concerning our Oil dependence is criminal and impeachable...the technology to solve the problem is HERE TODAY, we just need a national will and strong leaders to get us on the path to the Hydrogen Economy...there are NO unsolvable technical or safety problems only OIL COMPANY PROFITS AND ROYAL FAMILY’S THAT STAND IN THE WAY.

Why if President Kennedy could energize our people, industry and scientists to get us to the moon...can't today’s politicians energize and mandate our auto industry to stop the foolishness of gasoline dependency and move this country and the world to an era of freedom from the Oil Devils? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

? - What is going on with this “no spare tire” trend? Are the bean counters really going to make their bonus’s based on the elimination of a potentially life saving element of the cars they are bean counting? Are there no more auto engineers or designers who can figure out where to store even a temporary spare in all that iron? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

Oh there’s more...much more but I have run out of Tums and Lisinopril, let me know what you think. msnide@theautochannel.com
