Alternative Fuel Gap
By: Lance Winslow
There is always a crisis in the World somewhere and just pick up any newspaper and we can see that is fact. During the Russian and USA standoff which we conveniently called the; Cold War there was a “Missile Gap” and so we had to spend money to build more missiles and of course this is good news for Defense Contractors, as there is a lot less costs in building missiles than aircraft and since those missile may never be fired they would not need lots of pilots to fly them or fuel to put inside them and use up.
This means more money can be paid for the missiles themselves. Good deal, everyone wins, our nation is protected and all is well right? Sure one could argue it worked.
Now we have an alternative fuel gap and one, which we must close because we are addicted to foreign Middle Eastern Oil. Then only way to keep prices at acceptable rates for our civilizations economy is to threaten the Oil Cartel; OPEC with alternative energy sources and assure them that we are spending money, big money in Research and Development Costs to build alternative fuel vehicles, trucks, aircraft and etc.
So, we need to promote the Alternative Fuel Gap as a huge crisis and promote up and coming scientists and researchers to find ways to close that Gap and in doing so everyone wins. The Alternative Fuel Gap is serious, so consider this in 2006, because $3.00 per gallon is completely unacceptable you see?
