The Gift of High Oil Prices
In hindsight, I see the era of expensive oil as being a gift to humanity. Because of high prices, we have developed reliable electric transportation, we are now looking into renewable natural resources, all while protecting our Earth.I think sometime in the future each household will have their own source of renewable energy, whether it be solar or wind. Also, we will be using electric cars. We will then be able to power and heat our homes, after our personal power sources are paid for, for free, and we will be able to travel for free.
Thank you big oil companies.

Now what harm or bad could come from a business called 'Wholesale love'? I'm not understanding you.
Angel, I am not lonely. It's just that her voice kinda turns me on.
WHat the heck, Crazyheart!
I think you must have met an ole friend of mine. His name was Won-Hung-Lo.
SEPT. 19,2015?
YES! I will go with you. Pick me up! And your treat. SI?!...
I will only pick you up from my home though.....there is a catch to every dream Pepps.
Speaking of Banging your Head. lol
you're going out with Johnny? And yet, you never wanted to go with me to that Yodeling Competition Concert? Sheesh, what is this world coming to? That's not fair!
Don't go yet! I have something to ask you!
Oh well, her battery went out.. I wont ask her then.
I feel so bad now.
Okay, I'm over that moment now =
Hey, Johnny. You're blog may reach 100 comments.. maybe even 1000!
Thank you also...and Pepps too. You guys are great friends....and fun.
Take care,,,,should be on later.
You lives too far! And I'm heading north bound this weekend. And besides! You don't have more then $3.00...
See ya again.. someday soon.
I don't bang my head for nobody!
Well that is putting a positive spin on high gas prices or oil...for me I do not have a car...live a few minutes away from work and close to shops!!
But I like travelling...hope there is an alternative to fuel for planes...just heard about a solar powered plane...maybe in the future we can be more environmentally friendly...
I'm thinking of electricity, in Germany they want to stop producing electricity from coal and also get rid of nuclear energy - which is fine, but there are people pointing out that it is not really realistic to achieve that.
It is the way to go, I was thinking about a new heating system and would have gone with something else than oil (the current system is ok and a new one too expensive) and things like heat exchange systems or solar are an alternative.
There hasn't that much happened for cars yet, but electric cars are being produced, although not too many around here.
That is a good point, with all the sun they have. However, I do suspect that they want to protect their earnings from the oil they sell. Maybe they could take their huge profits and start investing in solar energy. Who knows, they may discover a more economical way of manufacturing panels. One would surely hope they will see the environmental benefits.
Thanks
In most cases, there can be a positive to be found.
I also heard about that solar powered plane. Hopefully this is an indication of what our future has in store for us.
Thanks
Renewable resources is a big transition from what we were/are used to from the past 100+ years. Germany currently seems to be leading the world with the change. I'm hoping they are wrong when they say it is unrealistic. The technology seems to exist to make it possible.
About your new heating source. Have you looked into geothermal? I do not know a whole lot about it and not sure it is available in your area. But, it seems like a pretty simple set up....just run some water lines into the ground and circulate the water, using the earth's inner ground temperature for heat. I think you can maintain a heat level in the upper 60 degrees. Using that system, perhaps in conjunction with another heating source may save you a lot on your heating bill. Just a thought.
Thanks
This quaint pre-industrial view of the self-sufficient household is extremely unlikely when everything points towards greater integration and mass markets. I'm not saying there won't be any, but they'll be a feelgood novelty, charged at a premium, and not actually thast eco-friendly like a lot of "green" stuff already is.
