OK, b3NDZ3La...deep breaths...look, it's all going to be just fine...Prez Bush is on it like stink on a skunk...we got hydrogen coming...we got ethanol coming...he's told us we're addicted to oil...that will make us all stop using...right?

We got all that deep, offshore oil coming...we got mounds and mounds of oil in those tar sands up north. There's all kinds of new discoveries being announced around the world...heck even the Saudis just told us they found a new one RIGHT next to that old beast Ghawar.

Iraq is so unexplored out west, you could stick a straight pipe down 10 feet and the black gold would smack you back in the face.

So quit your frettin and go gas up the the RV...Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner

Happy Motoring!!

I long ago came up with the solution to peak oil/peak energy. It's simple really. We put windmills everywhere, and then use electric fans to create the wind that powers them. That way we'll have reliable wind power 24 hours a day, everywhere. Using this ingenious method, everybody could generate all the power they need at home. You could even run these windmills in your basement.

The problem is that Big Oil doesn't want Americans to know about this great, heretofore untapped source of energy.

I really need to get in touch with President Bush and urge him to come up with several billion dollars in subsidies to get this plan under development quickly, while there's still time.

Why ozonehole, that is so great!

I have this friend? He rents out equipment to people. He has LOTS of generators that he can't rent out except during blackouts. He would LOVE to rent out these generators to power your fans!

See what happens when Good Minds come together?

Since we are in need of humor today:

Please imagine the poor subject of this panel as being one that has read TOD for several years and then watched the world's response:

I'd rather be in a county lockup than someplace like that. Wouldn't matter how much you paid me. That's just inhuman. What are we doing??
