At first glance one sees gas prices in the range of $4 per gallon across the country and just winces and tries to think of happier things but the impact upon lives of the people affected has widespread ramifications that go beyond the obvious.
How many more freeways must turn into parking lots because some sad sack took that moment at just that worst possible moment?
How many additional cars will be left stranded by the roadside, burnt out and gutted because the driver could not keep up with the price of insurance and gasoline?
How does one quantify or measure the number of ruined days, accidents, arguments brought on by rapidly climbing gas prices?
Any time one starts to engage with other people beyond their immediate circle then they are impacting lives in ways unseen.
I had a somewhat popular ebook on traffic shortcuts in Los Angeles. It sold a few copies. Too few! lol
Sometimes I would get the idea… what if someone I sent down some road somewhere on some search for the holy shortcut wound up in good or bad circumstances because of my little ebook! .
Take that small example and compare it to how many lives are affected in so many different ways by the out of control rise in gas prices
Life is a series of probabilities, causes which cause other things which lead us in directions that hold surprises. That is the plus and the minus.
So, again, what really is the price to society of the skyrocketing gas prices?
And how do we, as individuals, as pieces in the dominoes game of life that still manage to have self determinism take the right actions so as to cease being robbed by large corporations and money manipulation?
Some may say that there is nothing that we can do.
But such people are already dead and they are just waiting for someone to come along with a shovel.
In this world there are cures for cancer to be found if one insists on looking, just as there solutions to global warming, the environmental disaster of New Orleans and the health problems of the 911 first responders if one just decides to find the answers and the solutions applied, a solution exists also to free us from slavery to the gas pump.
Did you know you can lower the gas consumption of a car or truck with water? A hybrid engine using both gas and water can be installed quite easily. A fully hydrogen engine system can be implemented with just a bit of knowledge, resourcefulness and effort.
It is worth it in terms of more money in your pocket, a cleaner environment, a happier gas guzzler and in so many unforeseen ways that could have rewarding ramifications that it really is wise to make the small investment of time and caring to get your gas guzzler running on a hydrogen system.
