Written by The Root Cause of High Fuel Prices
I’m not really into conspiracy theories, but it seems obvious to me that everytime there is a threat to world oil production, the price of a barrel of oil sky-rockets. So if you happened to own your own oil company and went around stirring up trouble in oil producing areas of the world, it could make you even richer. Now I’m not suggesting for a moment that any of you oil barons do that, I think you might meet some fierce competition, and at £6 a gallon, diesel is already too expensive for anyone without a ministerial expense account. I’m just saying that if you were in a position of power and just happened to own an oil company, it may seem like the logical thing to do. With grossly inflated fuel prices, many people are asking the question ‘why are electric cars not popular?’ I read this question somewhere a while back and it made me laugh, so I’d like to set the records straight. Electric cars were never given a chance in the first place, people have been building prototypes for 70 years with nothing viable ever coming from it. We are told the problem is due to poor battery technology and the inability to store enough energy in a small lightweight package. The reality of the situation is that battery technology developed through private companies is now advanced enough to solve those problems, those same problems could have been overcome a long time ago, if anyone in government or the car industry had been remotely interested and threw some money into it. But they all shunned the idea and left it up to underfunded private companies to develop the technology, that’s guaranteed to slow the development down long enough for the oil companies to make another fat profit, not to mention all those extra taxes. The situation is aggravated by the fact that if any of those private technology companies get too close to developing anything significant, the oil barons are rich enough to buy them out and bury the technology before it ever see’s the light of day, many of you smarter individuals will already know this happens frequently.
The barebones truth is that everyone is under the influence of ‘big oil’ and pander to their whims, that’s why we’re now being offered hybrid petrol/electric cars when the same electric power plant technology could easily be used to make something much better. It’s blatantly obvious that the major players in this world still want us to use oil, and plan to make us pay dearly for it, right up to the very day it theoretically runs out. Which incidentally is widely believed to be another monumental lie, the whole ‘oil reserves will be dry in 20 years’ myth. Think about this for a moment, if you’re a salesman, and you have a product to sell, that product will have little value if you have 10 million of them in the warehouse, so in order to give your product some value, you create scarcity ‘we only have 20 left’ and ‘we want top dollar for them as nobody is sure if we can get any more’ get the picture? It’s a classic sales pitch, (High demand + scarcity = high prices) The bottom line is that if people realised that oil was actually in abundance on this planet, its value would plumment and so would the stock market, and any ‘oil based economy’ would collapse with it, as there’s not much tax to be skimmed with petrol at £0.20p a gallon.
Electric Cars Are The Future
So with all that to think about I am not quite ready to dismiss the viablility of electric cars in the future, I firmly believe that right now they ARE the future, especially when you realise that it’s fairly easy to produce cheap or free electricity, that’s probably also the reason the development of electric cars has been suppressed so aggressively. Recently I have also found myself to completely lose interest in hydrogen fuel cell technonlogy, and for all the wrong reasons. It’s not because it doesn’t work, I already know from my own experiments that it does, it’s because of the desire of certain people to make it as expensive as possible if it ever becomes a reality. Those same industry leaders already have you buying bottled water, a couple of water filter jugs works just fine for me. I’d like to take this opportunity to warn anyone who isn’t filtering their tap water at home, that they’re seriously risking the health of their family & themselves, I won’t go into the many reasons why, if you can find this page, then you can do your own research.
Research
Extensive research on the internet will reveal, that hydrogen fuel technology has long been suppressed in much the same way, it was first developed more than 100 years ago around the same time as petrol, but with hydrogen being one of the most abundant elements on earth, industry heads realised very quickly that it wouldn’t be profitable if it can be simply made from water. When all this information finally reaches your subconcious mind, what will really piss you off is the realization that, we do not need and have never needed oil.
Conclusion
The sad truth is that we have all been forced onto a runaway train, and nobody with power or influence has any intention of stopping the train and letting us off. I don’t claim to be an expert on any of the issues I have just mentioned, what you have just read is my personal view of what’s going on around us, the views of an ordinary man. While I firmly believe that one man can make a difference, it helps if he has power and money, and as I posses neither, I think I’d better crawl back in my corner for now.
