Stateline Gas Price Spike
If you were out and about town today, you probably noticed about a 20-cent spike in gas prices.

OPEC cut production and vowed to keep cutting until they reach their 80-100 per barrel.We need to get on with becoming an energy independent country.Take some of those billions in bail out funds and bail America out of it's dependence on foreign oil.It would cost the equivalent of 60 cents per gal to charge and drie an electric car.The elec could be generated by wind or solar.If all gasoline cars, trucks, and suv’s instead had plug-in electric drive trains, the amount of electricity needed to replace gasoline is about equal to the estimated wind energy potential of the state of North Dakota. Take some bail out bucks and make this technology more affordable to the average Joe. Create cheap clean energy, new badly needed jobs and get us out from under the crippling power other countries have on us by our dependence on their oil. I just read a book by Jeff Wilson called The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence Now. It was a real eye opener for me.Congress needs to read it too.
