"Lookout" higher fuel prices mean more opportunities for bio diesel producers. I listened to crude trader on TV many months age and he speculated that crude oil would top $100.00 a barrel by the end of 2007.
"Yea right" I was thinking. Now it looks like the unfortunate reality is the guy is right.
This is depressing.

Science Channel
There is a program on the Science channel that has some information about bio-fuels and alternative energy. Again diesel and all fuel prices are soaring above $3.00 and it will soon strangle our economy. I hate to say it but there ain't enough corn in this country to to save us.
We're going to need a different crop and that includes our government.
A short time ago when fuel prices took a jump Congress and the Senate were all over the oil companies and crying about their record profits from the astronomical prices. Now, you hear nothing. I think part of this is due to the fact that this is a boom to government coffers. So why complain?
Speculators are are the driving force behind these insane prices. They will soon be in serious trouble.
Yankee engineering and back yard inventors are resurrecting and improving ideas of the past and building new systems like the spinning compressor that produces hot water and make more energy than it consumes. How about a solid state generator? Now this isn't as crazy as it sounds. It used to be you needed a spinning gyro for flight navigation systems including the sophisticated and very expensive nav systems placed in military and commercial flight directors.
Now, thanks to the advent of solid state accelerometer's and GPS devices gyros will soon become relic of the past. These devices may soon replace air driven indicators and flight information.
Others are developing ideas and plans that are very exciting. There are rare earth magnet generators that are very powerful and require very little power to produce enough power to run your house. One experiment of note is a generator that spun itself to destruction as it's engineers couldn't stop it. Still others are building these generators to run cars. So, why are these not all over the news? Well, some are, but major corporations are reluctant to buy some of this new technology they think is perpetual motion and you cannot patent a perpetual motion machine. Not patent no investment. The new catch phrase is "over unity".
But, you can buy plans and build some of this stuff yourself. Some even have kits but these are not for the average homeowner. However, scientists seem to be reinvigorated to some extent.
There are some absolutely fascinating ideas, experiments, and testing going on right now.

Diesel Prices and a time out
It has been a while since I updated this blog. The reason was corporate politics, rules and other pure garbage. Not to mention a bruised ego here and there.
You see, the company I worked for was, and is a large transportation services company. My division did NO advertising of its' services. That's right, no advertising or promotion at all. Just me, an old outdated list of trucking companies and a telephone. A recipe for disaster.
What I pushed for during my 3 year tenure was an Ezine, SEO work, Blogs, Email List Marketing, Writing Articles, Internet Marketing in general. All the advertising I wanted to do would cost virtually nothing. I wanted to sell books on Trucking Regulations and other Public Domain information that was needed in the industry. I wanted to list Bio diesol stations for those looking for the product on our up to recently, unseen website.
I wanted to do free classified marketing which again fell on deaf ears. So, to prove my point since we had no, and I mean NO organic visible link in Google, I put together this blog. First, there is a need for Bio diesel information and second to prove a point. Within about a 6 week period my little blog rose to position #7 in Fuel Tax blogs.
I exposed my blog and began pushing for some free advertising. The answer was no. All advertising had to go through or with the permission and leadership of their contracted advertising agency. That answered my question, but not my quest to get free advertising.
So, they fired me.
We needed an ever running stream of potential customers calling or writing asking about our services. Not the other way around. One dude calling and writing to see if this or that company wanted or needed our services. How stupid can that be.
In any case, the highest rates for standard diesel seem to be in Wyoming and Utah pushing $3.50 a gallon and the cheapest in MO at a fraction under $2.999. You would think Bio diesel might run a little cheaper but I didn't see any today.
