I spent 50 years in the software business and don't trust computers or the internet one inch. If I ever go broke I KNOW that I could hack the system for miliions. And there are thousands of guys like me.

Like I say technology is going to be the death of us all. :B

Oh NO!

We are still stuck at $3.51. :)

$3.49 at exit 104 I-95 in VA.

Hacking into stores for customer info is common place now and it's only just begun. Sheriff just told us here in Pinal County to pay cash as only safe way to transact these days. Debit card is the least safe method. So much for the cashless society!

Gas droppe 2 cents recently. Yahoo!

I believe that some of those congressmen don't think borrowing 42 cents of every dollar we spend is a good idea.

And yet your own wife goes to the store everyday and borrows 100% of the grocery money on your Visa credit card. And you charge your gas and many other things on your credit card.

whoa, everything I buy goes on my BPS credit card and is paid off monthly. every citizen of the USA owes $51,000 on our debt which will never get paid off.

We have no debt, use debit card only. Not in CA. The $85 BILLION a month is a correct figure and it mainly ends up in the stock market. Fracking uses on average a million gallons of water for a 30 year producing well. Still several weeks of an average golf course and the same type of water. Total amount of fracking water used in the US yearly is much less than 1 hour of the Mississippi River going into the Gulf. Scare tactics way out dated. Your chemicals info is also out dated and now made from food grade material. Governor of Utah recently drank a large glass of fracking fluid on TV with no ill effects. You really need to keep up to date with things and lay off these old wives tales about fossil fuels.

The layer of shale is fractured with about a million gallons of water (about what an average golf course uses in 2 weeks, sand, and chemicals frequently found under your kitchen sink.

Fracking requires 10 gallons of clean water (no salines for example) for every gallon of oil shale. That's before the refining. Pollutants MUST be added to the water used in fracking to lubricate, fungus control, seep efficacy, etc.

The "produced water" is unredeemable. No amount of filtering and distilling can neutralize it. Thus, the frackers either sequester it in plastic lined ponds (hoping it doeswn't leak out into the nearby aquifer and poison well water) or they look for an old defunct deep oil well and pour it in there, once again hoping it doesn't leak.

Under your kitchen sink you will find a rich assortment of carcinogens and general pollutants, such as benzene, chlorines, and complex organic solvents. Would you stopper your sink then pour the junk under your sink INTO the sink and then drink that stuff for the next month?

New fluids are all food grade.

BS. If you'll buy that I've got some lovely "Clean Coal" I'll sell you: it's pure white!

In an effort to make these processes easier to understand, I am posting some photos of concentration solar and fracking at the link below. Takes just a minute and is very informative.
