Gas Prices
I've been reading articles in the L.A. Times about Chevron, Exxon & Valero stating that their earnings have increased - along with the gas prices we're paying. Why is this okay? Why aren't Americans crazy with rage? The media has even forewarned us (to buffer the upcoming blow?) that gas prices are likely to reach $4.00/gallon this summer. We keep hearing that the summer blend of gas is more expensive. But the 14 gallons ($3.69/gallon) of gas that I put into my car yesterday is just contributing to making the big oil companies richer. My boyfriend just bought an old Mercedes-Benz diesel and went bio-diesel. His gas is more expensive than mine, but he can go further on it and it's better for the environment. Electric cars must be made available again and at prices that people can actually afford. Saturn had done it before. See a great movie, "Who Killed The Electric Car?"

Look up the electric cars at www.teslamotors.com and see what is awesome for a sports car and a sedan. There was a documentary on the business and production of the cars. It is too bad independent companies or backers did not follow up on Tesla's free electricity for the masses in theory (inventions from 1800s to 1900s). Of course then where would the monopolies be with their billions, if he had succeeded.
