Gas War Idea

GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work

This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It ' s worth your consideration.

Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.89 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the
marketplace..... not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea:

For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
Just need to tell more people about it

What if we just shoot a few really rich(isn't gluttony a sin?where did the moral oil biz go?), retirement age(35) oil company execs? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Paintballs should get the idea across, haha, on another note, does anyone know that Russia sold Iran several diesel powered subs many years ago. Not too good for the open ocean, but quite enough for the oil tanker trade in the confined waters of the middle east? And if they have mastered the "nuke" thing it would put our aircract carriers at risk as the same weapons that will blow a hole in the side of a ship will destroy it if equipped with a small nuke. Good ole ground pounders -(This is the group I really feel for) going to Iran. I wish we had brought the troops home when we finished Iraq, cause now that we REALLY need them, they are worn out. Out thought by a second rate ...well whatever Iran is. Our policy has got to get better.

Perhaps we should just join Archcoal in getting away from foreign energy-"America has more proven coal reserves than Saudi Arabia has oil." This should provide us with cheap energy for generations- [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]open your eyes America [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The hydrogen tech is really good- just water vapor from a vehicle. the armed forces have some trucks (3/4 ton Chevys)that are trying this stuff and the coal is processed before it is burned, so all the stuff that is objectionable is much easier to remove.

Vital to Our Energy Future

Coal powers our modern life and will be a vital part of our energy future.

Clean Energy ? Clean coal technologies continue to improve our air quality while providing reliable, affordable electricity to power our modern world.

Low-Sulfur Coal
Arch Coal produces only the cleanest burning, low sulfur coals from its national network of mines.

Clean Coal Technologies
State-of-the-art equipment and new treatments can be used by power plants to further reduce emissions.

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
IGCC technology offers the potential for new coal-fired plants and retrofits to achieve gas-fired emissions with higher efficiency levels.

Coal-Gasification ? Coal can be converted to natural gas or hydrogen to help feed our energy hungry world.

Coal to Natural Gas
In the United States, natural gas reserves are increasingly difficult to reach and coal is plentiful. Converting coal to gas can help alleviate supply constraints and reduce energy costs.

Coal to Hydrogen
The U.S. Department of Energy's hydrogen from coal research plan seeks a pilot plant by 2015 and the technology to alleviate transportation, cost and storage barriers to a hydrogen economy.

Coal-Liquefaction ? Converting coal into liquid fuels, such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel and heating oil, makes good use of our national resources.

Coal to Transportation Fuel
America has more proven coal reserves than Saudi Arabia has oil. Maximizing the use of our vast coal supply means less dependence on foreign fuel.
