The beginning of the "Energy Crisis"

Hello, the time has come for a little talking about the "Energy Crisis" as the media has named it. First, I find it necessary to interject a disclaimer about these postings. I do not own energy stocks of any kind. I am not a hippy living off of the land and I own a truck with a V8 engine. An American large-gas-guzzling-leather interior-SUV...and I love every mile I drive it. So please understand that I have no affiliations with any organization other than the automotive companies that have supported my family and will continue to support my lifestyle. Now with that being said, I have CFL (compact florescent light bulbs) in my house and they are nice also. I have wrapped my water heater to increase the efficiency and we only keep the lights on the areas we need them. So I try to help the environment...uhem...my wallet.

Now my blog will not be how to save money while using rain water to irrigate or using bamboo flooring because it impacts the environment less than using oak flooring. This area is only for me to vent and bring a few things to light about this state of this world we live in. So, here goes. Please understand that years of engineering school and looking through my over analytical eyes for many years have yielded me a view of the world that eludes many people. I see how things work and I sadly understand the basis of Newton's laws. And one thing that has come up over and over many people fail to forget is work is activity in which one exerts strength or faculties to do or perform something. So when you eat, walk, drive, talk, breathe or think, you use energy. We use it to drive, to cook and EVERYTHING we do. So don't talk to me about an energy crisis. Name it a gas or oil crisis, but not an energy crisis. So in the upcoming entries. Look for exploration into topics such as the "Chrysler and Dodge $2.99 gas guarantee" and why it not a good deal and why going green is actually a good thing assuming it will save you money. (There is usually a reason thing cost a lot, materials, labor, etc.) I also take requests for my rants...please understand, you get what you pay for...and I am cheap! Until next time, "DO WORK"!
