The Global Recession's Here: How to Profit from It
In a month, for about 2,100 miles I use 15 gallons of gas, and 18.00 of electricity. At today’s cost of $3.25 per gallon, that is a total of $66.75. That works out to be about 3.2 cents per mile. In a standard Prius, that would be 6.5 cents per mile. In my Yukon that would be 27 cents per mile.
Look at it this way, at gas costs of $3.25;
Yukon, $568.75/month
Prius, $136.5/month
Plug-in Prius, $66.75/month
Those are numbers and Real Dollars you can take to the bank!
Do the math for yourself… your car vs. a 50mpg Prius.
Burning Fuel, “any liquid fuel” in our cars to throw into the air for all of us, and our children, to breathe into our lungs is bad. Why keep being a slave to a pump when electricity is already pumped into your home and you can even make it on the roof of your house.
Plug-in cars are now going to work for everyone, but they are coming even if I have to build them all myself. I’ve done five so far and more are on the way.
The Case Against Ethanol
I've been using Clean Domestic Wind Energy for about a year now to charge my Plug-in car and I do get over 100mpg. I know others who have solar panels that have long since paid for themselves, and they now plug their cars in at home too so their transportation fuel is free.
Let me concede this fact: “You can’t predict when the wind will blow or the sun will shine.”
Now I hope you can concede this fact: “The wind will blow, and the sun will shine, eventually”
That being said we need Coal and Natural Gas, but that does not mean we should not use natural resources.
As far as being a “greenie-weenie idiot”…
Well, I might be a weenie, but as far as Greenie, or and idiot, you have me all wrong.
I’m a conservative who has found a way to invest a little in a car so I can get over 100mpg, saving me money to help make my stock portfolio even bigger. I can take my family to more places and on more trips now that I save over $600 per month in overall energy savings. I am all for our free market and I am against regulations that limit a company’s ability to make money. However I have seen lots of companies improve their bottom line by embracing clean technologies and crushing their competition who try to save a nickel at the cost of our health.
So Mixter, if you don’t mind I’m going to take myself out of the “Oil sold to a SUCKER” equation as much as possible. Look at it this way; it saves more Oil for you to buy. Don’t worry about your finances though, I’ll be sure to leave you a big tip when you’re waiting tables at your second job. Then again, you could try to do something good for your family and for our economy by conserving and spending more of your hard earned money in your local community instead of giving it to foreign oil.
I never said we don’t need oil, I just don’t think burning it and throwing it in the air for all of us to breathe into our lungs is the best use of our resources.
Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to go cook some weenies for my family on my solar oven, not because it is Green, but because it will save me even more money to invest!
The Case Against Ethanol
Think about it. We need oil and all the important things we build with it. We just don't need it to burn in our cars and throw in the air for all of us to breathe in our lungs. Burning biofuel also will end up in our lungs. We have electric cars on the road that work right now. They could be built to be any size, speed, or power.
What about hydrogen? Again that is bad for us. Who is going to pay for all those hydrogen stations to be built? That is right…our tax dollars will go to make yet another small group of people very rich.
Look you already know how to plug in your TV set, so why not ask the auto makers to put a plug on your car, truck, or SUV so you can get 100 or even 200mpg. Some people will even go most weeks without using any gas.
Plug-In cars will not work for everyone, but they will work for enough people so that fuel prices will come down. For those who will be able to drive plug-in cars, they will save lots of money. For those not willing to plug-in or can’t, I can only say…It sucks to be you.
Plug-In cars can be built to be any size, speed, or power. They are good for our environment, our economy, our wallets, and our national security. 100mpg cars are real and on the road now. If Auto makers won’t make them, too bad, because guys like me are going to keep building them. Americans are meant to be free, and we are not going to stay slaves to foreign oil any longer.

Why are the car companies not making them? I have driven a 100mpg car for about a year now using wind energy. Last one.
