Open Letter to OPEC – Wish It Was A “Dear John Letter”

Gas prices are high enough, and OPEC wants us to believe that the way to bring those prices down is to stop using domestic biofuels. Yeah, right.

This is like putting a fire out by pouring gasoline on it (if you happen to have some extra laying around).

Fortunately, the World BioFuels Industry has published an open letter to OPEC (and the rest of us) refuting these baseless claims. I just hope people pay attention. We can’t continue to demagogue biofuels, and let the foreign lobbyists control the conversation.

Super-efficient Fuel Cell Cars? Deadly Chemicals in Gasoline?

As if the story on gas couldn’t get any worse, it turns out that a carcinogenic chemical called MTBE is added to gasoline to make it burn more efficiently. I guess this is the oil industry’s attempt at going “green”.

This information comes courtesy of a blogger I read who says the solution may be Ethanol. Hey, as long as this doesn’t negatively affect the price of my Gin, I’m for it!
