Chupacabra Sightings

I think my sister missed her calling as a cryptozoologist (or at least a promotional director for Cuero, Texas)

me, Hippie?

I'm not a tree loving hippie but I do believe in trying to save money and trying to reduce changes in the global climate.

So maybe Robely and I can learn a thing or two.

The Future?


I seem to remember being told in grade school that we would exhaust fossil fuels in our life time. I remember a rush towards solar, nuclear and wind power alternatives during the Carter administration and the OPEC gas "crisis", so what happened?
In the mid eighties there was hubub about the future of hydrogen cars. What happened?

Oil prices dropped and thoughts of changing over to other ideas seem to have been tabled. Now that oil prices are up again, discussion returns. With the growth of China and India and their voracious resource appetites, the price of oil does not look to fall dramatically again.

Now an oil mogul prompts to lead the way to regain American Independence, but is it too late? And why isn't anyone in Washington listening?

Tonight I saw Mr. Pickens on Larry King and after the snafu we saw with switching to ethanol, I have to wonder where the flaw lies in his indutrious dream.
