Winter Fears in June

With the price of oil going through the roof and every other utility that people use to heat their homes going up and up people are terrified. People that can not or do not have access to alternative heat sources such as renters and some home owners are literally fearing the coming winter. This is not a joke, just talk to your neighbor if you live in a northern climate state. People are scared to death that they will either eat or heat. What are the elderly folks living alone in their houses going to do on a fixed income when the cost to feed the oil tank is more than the Social Security check they get each month. To put it simply, they will freeze to death in their own home only to be found in the spring.

Americans fought a revolution over tyranny a couple of hundred years ago because their rights to exist were trampled on by a King thousands of miles away. In perspective to that, the King has been replaced by Wall Street’s self proclaimed Lords of the free market. They are not alone in the guilt and blame for this current energy crisis but the prices will never drop to where they were before simply because financial gravity dictates that it can not and will not. In all of this speculation is mutual funds that many of us own and have profited from with the rising price of oil. Retirement funds moved dollars into oil when the dollar fell on the world markets and in doing so reaped enormous profits for the funds.

We have a revolution on our hands in America and the enemy is Us! We can choose to shoot ourselves in our foot with our retirement investments or we can shoot ourselves in the foot with our need for gasoline and home heating oil at a reasonable price? Pick one, then pick a foot to shoot off!

What can you do as your part of the energy revolution? Move your investments out of oil stocks and energy futures. Place the funds into alternative energy research and the double digit growing green energy field. Talk to your investment analyst but make your voice loud and clear. Wall Street and the markets are pricing you out of heat this coming winter and now is the time to speak up with your investment dollars.

We can all bitch and moan about the cost to heat our homes but if you benefit from the gains for the sake of someone freezing to death because a cheaper alternative energy investment did not have the potential gain then the game is the game. When it’s ten degrees out and the thermostat for your grandparents is set at 45 degrees because the oil will run out faster than the pension money does then it is what it is. Investment dollar gains in your IRA or 401K will never equal the amount of sweaters and blankets an elderly person will need to put on to survive this coming winter.

What is truly scary is that this same scenario holds true for many middle class families. People earning decent wages, people with the means to change heating sources now, people working multiple jobs and still in fear of what they will have to do next winter to keep warm. Make no mistake about it, the price of oil is the American peoples enemy and the people controlling that market manipulation in many respects is you and I with our investments for our own retirement. You can look at your statements and shrug your shoulder or move your money out of the people robbing you blind on your oil tank and gas tank. It’s your choice. Money is feeding this frenzy in the price of oil and the gains you get now are not gains when they are taken away ten fold every time you fill your oil tank or gas tank. Investing is a choice and you have the ultimate power to make that choice. It’s your money!

Start knitting your sweaters now for your golden years. If our investments work out as best that we can hope then we just might be able to set the thermostat at sixty degrees. Thus proving that we are far better off than our grandparents. Choose your battle and defend America’s future with your investment dollars wisely.

Energy Breakthroughs

Many people will look at this post and the attached video and call it voodoo science or just pure bunk. I’m beginning to think the time for the new Henry Ford’s, Thomas Edison‘s, and Albert Einstein’s has arrived and it is just in time. Thinking outside of conventional wisdom and even academic pretense is what it takes to be a true inventor and I’m finding that my research into new energy breakthroughs is simply amazing.

If the average homeowner wanted to take their home off of the electric grid the price can be a bit intimidating. Then there is the problem of location if the peak wind or sun just does not jive with the area you live in.

With the cost for a barrel of oil hovering at $140 per barrel today then I’m sure that backyard and garage inventors that are pissed off are very busy. Nothing spurs invention more than someone telling you that you will pay what they tell you the price is, you have no choice in the matter! New energy breakthroughs are coming fast and furious and many of them will in fact bust the oil market down to a whimpering whipped dog. No bull, no bear, just a whining, cowering oil market speculator dog.



John Christie and Lou Brits started this little project on their own some years back and it looks like they have a winner but as in all new inventions the road to marketing and production is not paved with gold. If you have any questions about the device, its availability you can check out the link at RexResearch.com or check out the Lutec company website that has a ton of info on the machine.

Amazing… Freaking me out because this machine they invented could take every single home in America or the world off of the energy dependence grid with further research. What the reality of it will end up being is that it will be bought up by some oil rich nation or company and mandated to the scrap bin forever for a very fat check!

Supply and demand my foot! I’ll let President Bush put his own foot where the solar panels aren’t working.

My thoughts are that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet should be placing a call to these guys and offer the cash investment to get the scales of justice in the oil markets balanced once more. While Obama and McCain are whacking one another upside the head on who has a better energy plan to reign in the out of control oil markets there is a machine sitting in Australia that actually is the answer to all of the worlds energy independence.
